A history of the American musical theatre : no business like it

Hurwitz, Nathan2014
Book
From the diverse proto-theatres of the mid-1800s, through the revues of the '20s, the 'true musicals' of the '40s, the politicization of the '60s and the 'mega-musicals' of the '80s, every era in American musical theatre brought with it a unique set of socio-cultural factors. Nathan Hurwitz uses these factors to explain the output of each decade in turn, showing how the most popular productions spoke directly to the audiences of the time.
