    Derived from the colorful traditions of vaudeville, burlesque, revue, and operetta, the musical has blossomed into America’s most popular form of theater.

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2001

  • Description

    The New York Times called Stephen Sondheim “the greatest and perhaps best known artist in the American musical theater,” while two months earlier, the same paper referred to his contemporary, Andrew Lloyd-Webber as “the most commercially successful composer in history.” Lloyd-Webber’s musical contribution from his early works, The Likes of Us and Joseph to Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cats, Starlight Express, Aspects of Love, By Jeeves, The Phantom of the Opera, Song & Dance, Mass, Sunset Boulevard to Whistle Down the Wind are also thoroughly analyzed. Complete with a quadruple chronology (Sondheim, Lloyd-Webber, US Theater, British Theater), copious quotations from their works, and many never before published illustrations, the future of the artform that is the crowning achievement of the 20th century is made eminently clear in this book.
