Purchase options and add-ons

Julie Taymor is the avant-garde theater magician who turned Disney's The Lion King into a Broadway smash -- and became the first woman to win a Tony Award for best director. This richly illustrated book, the first edition of which was published before Taymor's Broadway triumph, has now been expanded to include The Lion King and other recent Taymor productions, including The Flying Dutchman, The Green Bird, and her forthcoming film of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange.

Award-winning theater critic Eileen Blumenthal traces Taymor's background and achievements in theater, opera, and film. Taymor herself provides notes on each of her projects, along with her original drawings for costumes and characters.j

(This will be short.) In my opinion, Julie Taymore is the top theatrical designer of her generation, and will probably go down as one of the greatest of all time. Her work is unique, and anyone who wants to design for the theatre should own this book, and let her work inspire you to do new and beautiful work.
