Great oversized heavy coffee table art book.
A true treasure of a book. This is a very large book, and not just width wise. It is very tall too. There are many pictures, a lot of them in color. They have some of the rarest flops featured toward the back of the book, and the classics are all here too. Some high points are the run-through of how they make (made) "Annie" run every night. There is also a synopsis of "Hello Dolly" which helpful since I have only seen the movie. There is a flaw though, and it is not insignificant. The author does not separate fact from opinion. Example: "Sweeney Todd does not hold a place in the theater". This book came out the same year "Sweeney Todd" did(1979), so it might be just a bit early to say that. Obviously, he is a critic, but he should have took that hat off ,and taken on the role of an author who looks at the facts.("Sweeney" is just one of the hows that gets criticized.)
Colorful entertaining masterpiece with many of these Broadway Musicals some of them are THE WIZ, SOPHISTICATED LADIES, DREAMGIRLS, AIN'T MISBEHAVIN, PIPPIN, SUGARBABIES, FORTY-SECOND STREET ON PAGE 145, A CHORUS LINE ON PAGES 138-139, EVITA PAGE 127, DANCIN PAGES 122-123, ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY PAGES 72-81, and remade versions of WEST SIDE STORY, OKLAHOMA, BRIGADOON, AND GUYS AND DOLLS.
