About this title

Review:

'This is a work of considerable genius ... intelligent, incisive, informed, yet immensely readable.' Sheridan Morley

'This well-structured, beautifully argued and thought provoking compendium proves itself to be an indispensable guide.' Classical Music

' ... the companion is well written, effectively organized, readable, and visually attractive, punctuated by well-placed photographs and playbills. Footnotes are provided for each essay; the bibliography is extensive; and the index includes a full coverage of shows, songs, dances, lyricists and composers. Because of the updated chapters and the extensive new material included in the later edition, it is well worth having, even if the reader also has the earlier 2002 edition.' Studies in Musical 4

Book Description:

Containing five completely new chapters on topics including the European musical and the creation of the show Wicked, this updated Companion continues to provide a thorough and accessible overview of one of the liveliest and most popular forms of musical performance.
