The Broadway musical has greatly influenced American (and world)
culture. Such shows as Oklahoma and Annie Get Your Gun are as
"American as apple pie," while the long runs of imports like Cats,
The Phantom of the Opera, and Les Miserables have broken records.
Broadway has produced such cultural icons as Ethel Merman, Yul
Brynner, and Julie Andrews, and composers and lyricists such as
Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Oscar
Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd
Webber, and many others have had their melodies sung on its stages.
Visionaries like George Abbott, Agnes de Mille, Jerome Robbins, Bob
Fosse, Tommy Tune, and Susan Stroman have brought productions to
life through their innovative direction and choreography. Since the
latter part of the 19th century, the Broadway musical has remained
one of the most popular genres in entertainment and its history is
related in detail in The A to Z of the Broadway Musical. Through a
chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and 900
dictionary entries on Broadway shows, playwrights, directors,
producers, designers, and actors, this handy desk reference offers
quick information on the many aspects of the Broadway musical.
