 Great Reference and Amazing Pictures November 5, 2007
I am a high school theatre teacher. I was looking for a textbook for my musical theatre class when I came across this wonderful reference book. While it doesn't have all of the shows I need, it is a wonderful way to look at some of the most popular musicals in a condensed version with beautiful pictures and interesting trivia. My students love the book so much, they do not want to return it to the school at the end of the semester. They keep it and pay the fee for a missing book. It is reasonably priced for a coffee table book.
Amazing info August 24, 2007
Wonderfully researced by people who love musical theatre--brief paragraphs of backstage and unknown situations behind the scenes-- a must for the musical theatre "groupie"
As big as Broadway ! August 21, 2007

What a wonderful book. Over 330 pages in this oversized tome chock full of pictures. Maybe some would disagree about which shows belong in a list of the 101 greatest Broadway musicals, but the authors have done a great job here. Each of the shows is broken down to details (opening date, number of performances, cast of characters, actors, synopsis, songs etc), wih several photographs for each. Also included are features on some of the key people involved, plus special sections on "Flops", "Star Turns", "Off Broadway", etc. This would fit well into the collection of any lover of Broadway musicals and would make an awesome gift.
 Great for all it does. July 8, 2007
There's an old show business maxim: Always leave 'em wanting more. This book is so good at what it does I only wish it had gone further -- shows like "New Faces of 1952", "The Girl Friend" and "The Boy Friend". Admittedly one can find references to them in other reviews and they weren't the blockbusters most of the included shows were. But, hey, it is great fun to read and why fret that it fell slightly short of my personal concept of perfection?
 Great Book, but still........ May 7, 2007

wish that some of my favorites were included:
Oliver
Miss Saigon
Sunset Boulevard
Man of La Mancha.
I really think it is sad that these aren't included, especially Man of La Mancha.
