 "The Cambridge Companion to the Musical provides an accessible introduction to one of the liveliest and most popular forms of musical performance. Written by a team of specialists in the field of musical theatre especially for students and theatregoers, it offers a guide to the history and development of the musical in England and America, including coverage of New York's Broadway and London's West End traditions. Starting with the early history of the musical, the volume comes right up to date. It examines the latest works and innovations, and includes information on the singers, audience and critical reception, and traditions. There is fresh coverage of the American musical theatre in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the British musical theatre in the middle of the twentieth century and the rock musical. The Companion contains an extensive bibliography and photos from key productions."--Οπισθόφυλλο.
