A notable addition to the literature on the American musical and especially its history, this collection of essays and edited panel discussions is diverse and rich in its scope. Based on the combined efforts of theater and dance specialists, musicologists, librarians and archivists, and professional musical theater practitioners, this volume attempts to cover aspects of the American musical from its 18th-century beginnings to the synthesizing of the contemporary musical as a work of art.
