Paperback. Etat : Very Good. James Inverne provides an indispensable guide to his top one hundred greatest shows of all time - and ten of the worst. Whether you know your Pal Joey from The Producers, your West Side Story from your Witch Witch, the Faber Pocket Guide To Musicals is packed with entertaining behind-the-scenes stories, essential songlists and comprehensive recording guides. Did you know, for instance, that one of the best recordings of Les Miserables is in Hebrew? Or that Mel Brooks wasn't the first person to want to make a musical of The Producers? (That claim goes to Eric Idle.) Or the ridiculous story of the huge purpose-built theatre constructed in Holland to house a flop about Grace Kelly? Key features include: - The hundred greatest musicals - Numbers to listen for - Snapshot plot summaries - Ten terrible musicals - Recommended recordings James Inverne has been writing about musical theatre for years and brings copious knowledge, passion for the subject and a sense of fun to a genre that continues to entertain us all. Make the most of the musicals with this vital book. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Musicals (2009) by James Inverne Faber and Faber | ISBN: 9780571237517 Condition: Good (as sold by Crappy Old Books) Ah, the musical. That most improbable of art forms. The only cultural invention bold enough to ask: ?What if people who are already overwhelmed by emotion simply? sang about it?? Enter Musicals by James Inverne ? a brisk, witty, occasionally knowing tour through a world where jazz hands are a legitimate form of argument and a key change can resolve years of emotional repression. This 2009 gem from Faber and Faber does what all good theatre should do: it raises the curtain, gives you a confident overture, and then proceeds to guide you through the glittering chaos of showbiz without spilling too much stage blood. Inverne is your amiable backstage guide, nodding toward Broadway, the West End, and those other less glamorous outposts where chorus lines are formed from sheer optimism and municipal arts funding. Within these perfectly civilised pages you will encounter towering figures of the genre ? composers with impossible hair, lyricists who rhymed ?love? with ?above? and made it sound revolutionary, and producers who stared into financial ruin and thought, ?Yes, but what if we add tap dancing?? There are triumphs, flops, revivals, and the delicate science of the standing ovation. It?s all here: the razzle, the dazzle, the orchestral swells, the backstage rivalries, and that peculiar truth that a musical can be both heartbreakingly sincere and faintly ridiculous at the same time. Inverne writes with affection but not blind devotion ? there?s enough wit in the wings to keep even the most hardened non-theatre person entertained. Condition-wise, this copy is Good . That is to say, it has lived a little. Perhaps it has hummed quietly to itself on a bookshelf. Perhaps it once sat beside a Playbill and a half-folded ticket stub from 2009. It shows honest signs of reading, not trauma. No phantom of the bookshelf here ? just a solid, respectable volume ready for its encore. Ideal for: Aspiring producers who believe the answer is always ?bigger orchestra.? Secret theatre lovers who pretend to prefer ?serious drama.? Anyone who has ever sung loudly in the car and called it rehearsal. Take your seats. The overture is about to begin. . N° de réf. du vendeur 5553
