Editorial Reviews
Mark Jennett, CultureVulture.com, December 2001
"It is [his] highly informed yet robust opinions that are the appeal of his work."

Review
As he did in Deconstructing Harold Hill and From Assassins to West Side Story, Scott Miller, with this delightful entry, once again pulls back the curtain on some of the greatest, most important musicals in the history of musical theater. Miller focuses on shows that have truly changed the genre, moving in chronological order from 1937's The Cradle Will Rock to 1996's Rent, and including Off-Broadway hits not included in other books. In the process, he focuses on musicals as theater - real shows being put on with live performances - rather than literature - and demonstrates why musical theatre still remains a vital and vibrant living art form. Miller's opinions are occasionally provocative, and wholly engaging, written from the perspective of a director and a performer. Anyone with an interest in musical theater will be fascinated with Miller's latest work, and the serious aficionado will find new insights to ponder. Above all, this mesmerizing new book will have you thinking and talking about theStage and Screen Book Club
