Fantastic help in preparing our group for the big night.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Staging A Musical (Theatre Arts (Routledge Paperback)) (Paperback)
I picked up a copy of this book whilst in London, on the recommendation of a friend. I had mentioned that I was involved in the staging of "The Boyfriend", and was a first time musical organiser. Matthew and Stella hit all the key points, and give a heads up for sticky issues. I recommend it highly to all those keen producers out there.
