The Cambridge Companion to the Musical（ISBN=9780521680844） pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

Tracing the development of the musical on both Broadway and in

London's West End, this updated Companion continues to provide a

broad and thorough overview of one of the liveliest and most

popular forms of musical performance. Ordered chronologically,

essays cover from the American musical of the nineteenth century

through to the most recent productions, and the book also includes

key information on singers, audience, critical reception, and

traditions. All of the chapters from the first edition remain –

several in substantially updated forms – and five completely new

chapters have been added, covering: ethnic musicals in the United

States; the European musical; Broadway musicals in revival and on

television; the most recent shows; and a case study of the creation

of the popular show Wicked based on interviews with its creators.

The Companion also includes an extensive bibliography and

photographs from key productions.
