Broadway: The American Musical

This was a present for my niece, and she loved it.

It's always great to find a book that is so detailed about the history of musical theatre. And that's almost everything this gigantic tome has to offer you. Not that it's not good or enough. But it would have been nice to see all the major - i don't know - last Tony winners, for example. Still, it's a really complete book, with lots and lots of great great big pictures, which is always fascinating.

I love the contents of the book. But the outside paper cover arrived very ripped and it looked used. I enden up throwing it away and keeping only the red hardcover.

Very well written, in an almost authoritative manner. A perfect companion to the DVD series hosted by Julie Andrews. A must-read for everyone who loves the American musical.

I had to purchase this book for college and it is great! If you are looking into becoming a professional performer, you've got to know who started and made their mark in the industry before you; this book is perfect for learning that information and it is an easy fun read.

This is a must read for anyone who enjoys Broadway shows and its history. It gives you the ideas behind the music along with the social issues of that day and includes the modern musicals as well..

After some past experiences of not getting things ive ordered online from other stores and companies, these guy were able to process my order and ship it faster than some other people can even get my order processed. These guys are very good.

Very detailed about Broadway History! Had to use it for my class, and it's one of the best books I've read about Broadway

Lots of photos, lots of history, a variety of comments by those who made Broadway, no one is left out.

Bought as a reference book for my son who is studying Musical Theatre. It arrived in superb condition.
