The New American Musical: An Anthology from the End of the 20th Century - Wiley Hausam

Detalii:

nA major new anthology of groundbreaking American musicals.n nDuring the 1990s, a new generation of composers, lyricists and librettists emerged radically changing the face of American musical theatre. With Broadway becoming mostly a museum for revivals and Disney blockbusters, these new artists have fashioned a more highly personal and challenging form of musical theatre less interested in pure entertainment and the creation of diversions. Their work bears the influence of composers like Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Weill, Mark Blitzstein and Leonard Bernstein and their music and lyrics demand a greater commitment from the listener. The work is often dark and the stories they illuminate cut to the heart of post-modern America.n nThis anthology collects for the first time the groundbreaking work of these innovative new artists: n nRentn nBook, music and lyrics by Jonathan Larsonn nThe breakthrough musical for the 90s.--Jack Kroll, Newsweekn nReinventing Broadway.
