Hip-hop culture's explosive arrival on the art scene of New York in the boroughs of Queens and the Bronx in the 1970s began to influence all aspects of musical theatre from singing to scenic design. 'Hip-Hop in Musical Theatre' takes an intersectional standpoint to explore hip-hop's influence on musical theatre practice and aesthetics by giving the reader a comprehensive map of musical theatre productions that have been impacted by hip-hop music and culture. Offering insightful briefs on musical theater productions that contain aesthetic, musical and embodied references to the global phenomenon of Hip-hop culture, this volume takes the reader through a virtual tour of hip-hop's influence on American musical theatre.
