Description
A comprehensive companion to the six-part Emmy-winning PBS documentary series, Broadway: The American Musical is the gold standard of musical theatre history books, tracing the roots of the art form at the turn of the twentieth century through the smashing successes of the new millennium.
The in-depth text is lavishly illustrated with a treasure trove of photographs, scenic renderings, production stills, and rehearsal shots, many previously unpublished. With a foreword by Julie Andrews, this edition is revised and updated, featuring brand-new material on all the Broadway musicals through the 2018–2019 season, including The Book of Mormon, Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, and Hadestown.
Called by Playbill "an epic tome—handsomely produced and intensely researched," this five hundred-page volume is a must-have for theatre fans, casual enthusiasts, and students of all ages.
