I just had musical theatre with Dr. McLamore and used her book as a textbook for the class. I joked with all my friends that this is the type of book I would by in stores for "fun" reading.It really is a great look at the history of musical theatre going back to the early Operas. It's nice to see a book back up that far and show where the roots of musical theatre are found. I have never found that in another book on musical theatre so this ones definetely a wonderful book to have.The book explores many musicals in detail complete with a plot synopsis of many of them and a deeper examination of some of the songs within them.It is really an amazing book. Any musical theatre fan would benefit from reading it:)
This book can be realy expensive, but this seller offered me a used book for a great price. The book is in good condition considering it's used. We are reading the book in a Musical Theatre History course, and it's a wonderful supplement. It covers everything that led to musicals being formed from the earliest operas through the 20th century. It's great!
Book was a little damaged, but I guess it doesn't matter since it's a rental.
good staff!
This book came very quickly, and it's less expensive than anything else I have looked at online! And it's in great condition!
