Offers an alphabetical survey of the most popular Broadway musicals in history, with commentaries, synopses, behind-the-scenes information, and lists of songs and cast members for each musical. - Book News
In this update of the 2008 and 2004 editions, theater historian Bloom teams with actor Vlastnik to introduce this celebration of Broadway musical theatre. They selected the most popular and/or groundbreaking, vs. the best shows though there is considerable overlap; e.g., one section showcases "great scores from so-so shows." Spanning Annie to Zorba, the selections include historical-cultural context, opening date and venue, production data, cast, plot synopsis, featured songs, color photos, and off-stage anecdotes and quotes. A listing by date would be useful in subsequent editions. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - Grand Central Pub
