Kurt Ganzl - Musicals: The Complete Illustrated Story of the World's Most Popular Live Entertainment

Būklė - labai gera

The musical today stands where it always has - at the centre of a truly popular culture. How it got there is told in Musicals which charts each significant turn in the genre's glorious development, through some 300 photographs and incisive, informative text, including feature spreads on the milestones of musical theater, their creators and innovators, and the famous venues in Paris, Vienna, London and New York associated with them. Also included are spreads of musicals that have successfully made the transition from the stage to the wide screen, such as The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Guys and Dolls and West Side Story. To bring it bang up to date, the text has been revised with an extra sixteen pages added, looking at the most popular musicals of the past five years including The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast and Rent.
