Críticas:

This lush and relatively inexpensive coffeetable book is one that fans of musicals will actually read and talk about...These are not the same old glossies we've seen a thousand times, but fresh and rare photographs, many from private collections, that capture the essence of the show's greatness. Then there's the presentation: lively, opinionated, sometimes deliciously gossipy writing...This book is a must for fans of musical theater."--"Hartford Courant" "I was happy to leaf through this very weighty tome (with some of the finest color photos I've ever seen in such an archival volume on nearly every page) and match my own favorites against those of the authors....by the time you make it through the catalogue...you will have hummed at least a hundred tunes and been reminded of what a dazzling achievement this theatrical form has been. And for holiday shoppers in search of the perfect gift for musical mavens, here's the grail."--Hedy Weiss," Chicago Sun-Times" "I nearly missed deadline for this column, thanks to "Broadway Musicals,.".It's one of those great browser books that can eat up an hour before you realize it. For any theater fan or musical buff it is a perfect abridged education."--"Minneapolis Star-Tribune" "This massive, lavishly printed tome is almost a coffee-table unto itself. A must-have for the Broadway fanatic." --Time Out New York

Reseña del editor:

This richly visual, information-packed celebration of popular theatre's most enduring artform brings to life the best-loved shows of all time - from Annie Get Your Gun to the Ziegfeld Follies, including Brigadoon, Cabaret, Evita, Chorus Line, Cats, Carousel and Anything Goes. These are the very greatest musicals that were either created on Broadway or transferred to Broadway. Each entry includes: expert commentary that sets the play in historical and cultural context; features the show's creators and performers; a plot synopsis, cast & song list, production details, backstage anecdotes, and more; four or five beautifully reproduced colour photographs from each show
