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!

This book came very quickly, and it's less expensive than anything else I have looked at online! And it's in great condition!
