A propos de cet article

New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1998. Fine condition in bright, shiny Near Fine Dust Jacket (lightly rubbed). No chips. No tears. No creases. No owner's name or bookplate. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Sharp corners. Pages are fresh and crisp. First printing, with complete number row (135798642) on the copyright page. Index. From the Dust Jacket: The 1950s saw an explosion in the American musical theater. The Broadway show, catapulted into the limelight in the 1920s and solidified during the 1940s thanks to Rodgers and Hammerstein, now entered its most revolutionary phase, brashly redefining itself and forging a new kind of storytelling. In COMING UP ROSES: THE BROADWAY MUSICAL IN THE 1950s, Ethan Mordden gives us a guided tour of this rich decade. With loving detail, Mordden highlights the shift in Broadway from shows that were mere star vehicles, showcasing big-name talents, to the bolder stories, stuffed with character and atmosphere. During this period, subject matter became more intricate, even controversial, and plots more human and complex. Mordden demonstrates how, in response, musical conventions were polished, writing became more finely crafted, and dance became truly indispensable. Along the way we meet the key players, such greats as Ethel Merman, George Abbott, Jerome Robbins, Gwen Verdon, Bob Fosse, Stephen Sondheim, Frank Loesser, Cole Porter, Leonard Bernstein, and many others. We get the backstage scoop on why GUYS AND DOLLS is so well made, why WEST SIDE STORY is so timeless, why THE KING AND I and GYPSY push the envelope, and why no one ever talks about ANKLES AWEIGH. All this is peppered with a dash of industry gossip -- the directorial struggles, the last-minute script rewrites and cast replacements.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hard Cover. Black cloth spine /blue boards/DJ Not Price Clipped (30.00). 8vo. x, 262pp. .…
