An ambitious guidebook.--Patricia Grandjean "The New York Times "
In this entertaining and informative guidebook to the creation of the musical show, Stephen Citron, longtime composer and lyricist, goes behind the scenes to describe in marvelous detail how a show is put together, from the first glimmer of an idea to the excitement of opening night. Filled with anecdotes, practical advice, and sparkling comments from the biggest Broadway insiders, The Musical from the Inside Out examines this major theatrical form from the creator's point of view. Mr. Citron takes the reader on an expertly guided journey: finding and securing the material, writing the libretto, adding the songs, auditioning the players, work-shopping, rehearsals, previews, and the final polished production.
