BOOKS: BROADWAY MUSICALS

BROADWAY MUSICALS

This extraordinary volume explores the musical theater in all its dimensions with nearly 400 pictures, 112 of them in full color, including original production shots of all the great musicals, from Show Boat to A Chorus Line, On the 20th Century, and Sweeney Todd.

The incisive text by critic Martin Gottfried gives a lively account of the musical theater: how musical comedy of the 1920s and 1930s grew into the "musical play" of the 1940s and 1 950s and how that development was overtaken by today's "concept" musical; how songs in a show are "spotted," or placed; how Irving Berlin, who can neither read nor write music, became one of Broadway's greats. Berlin, Kern, Gershwin, Rodgers, and Porter—the musical's giant composers—are highlighted in individual profiles, as are the great directors.

BOOKS: THE LEONARD BERNSTEIN LETTERS

THE LEONARD BERNSTEIN LETTERS
https://www.sendspace.com/file/rksefb

Leonard Bernstein was a charismatic and versatile musician?a brilliant conductor who attained international super-star status, and a gifted composer of Broadway musicals (West Side Story), symphonies (Age of Anxiety), choral works (Chichester Psalms), film scores (On the Waterfront), and much more. Bernstein was also an enthusiastic letter writer, and this book is the first to present a wide-ranging selection of his correspondence. The letters have been selected for the insights they offer into the passions of his life?musical and personal?and the extravagant scope of his musical and extra-musical activities. Bernstein’s letters tell much about this complex man, his collaborators, his mentors, and others close to him. His galaxy of correspondents encompassed, among others, Aaron Copland,Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Robbins, Thornton Wilder, Boris Pasternak, Bette Davis, Adolph Green, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and family members including his wife Felicia and his sister Shirley. The majority of these letters have never been published before. They have been carefully chosen to demonstrate the breadth of Bernstein’s musical interests, his constant struggle to find the time to compose, his turbulent and complex sexuality, his political activities, and his endless capacity for hard work. Beyond all this, these writings provide a glimpse of the man behind the legends: his humanity, warmth, volatility, intellectual brilliance, wonderful eye for descriptive detail, and humor.

Thanks a lot, TIA ANTONIA!!!

BOOKS: Nothing Like a Dame: Conversations with the Great Women of Musical Theater

NOTHING LIKE  A DAME: CONVERSATIONS WITH THE GREAT WOMEN OF MUSICAL THEATER

https://www.sendspace.com/file/ye7mxk

In Nothing Like a Dame, theater journalist Eddie Shapiro opens a jewelry box full of glittering surprises, through in-depth conversations with twenty leading women of Broadway. He carefully selected Tony Award-winning stars who have spent the majority of their careers in theater, leaving aside those who have moved on or occasionally drop back in. The women he interviewed spent endless hours with him, discussing their careers, offering insights into the iconic shows, changes on Broadway over the last century, and the art (and thrill) of taking the stage night after night. Chita Rivera describes the experience of starring in musicals in each of the last seven decades; Audra McDonald gives her thoughts on the work that went into the five Tony Awards she won before turning forty-one; and Carol Channing reflects on how she has revisited the same starring role generation after generation, and its effects on her career. Here too is Sutton Foster, who contemplates her breakout success in an age when stars working predominately in theater are increasingly rare. Each of these conversations is guided by Shapiro's expert knowledge of these women's careers, Broadway lore, and the details of famous (and infamous) musicals. He also includes dozens of photographs of these players in their best-known roles. 

This fascinating collection reveals the artistic genius and human experience of the women who have made Broadway musicals more popular than ever ― a must for anyone who loves the theater.

Thanks a lot, TIA ANTONIA!!!

THE RICHARD RODGERS READER

Richard Rodgers was one of America's most prolific and best-loved composers. A world without "My Funny Valentine," "The Lady is a Tramp," "Blue Moon," and "Bewitched," to name just a few of the songs he wrote with Lorenz Hart, is scarcely imaginable, and the musicals he wrote with his second collaborator, Oscar Hammerstein Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I , and The Sound of Music continue to enchant and entertain audiences. Arranged in four sections, Rodgers and Hart (1929-1943), Rodgers and Hammerstein (1943-1960), Rodgers After Hammerstein (1960-1979), and The Composer Speaks (1939-1971), The Richard Rodgers Reader offers a cornucopia of informative, perceptive, and stylish biographical and critical overviews. It also contains a selection of Rodgers's letters to his wife Dorothy in the 1920s, the 1938 Time magazine cover story and New Yorker profiles in 1938 and 1961, and essays and reviews by such noted critics as Brooks Atkinson, Eric Bentley, Leonard Bernstein, Lehman Engel, Walter Kerr, Ken Mandelbaum, Ethan Mordden, George Jean Nathan, and Alec Wilder. The volume features personal accounts by Richard Adler, Agnes de Mille, Joshua Logan, Mary Martin, and Diahann Carroll. The collection concludes with complete selections from more than thirty years of Rodgers's own writings on topics ranging from the creative process, the state of the Broadway theater, even Rodgers's bout with cancer, and a generous sample from the candid and previously unpublished Columbia University interviews. For anyone wishing to explore more fully the life and work of a composer whose songs and musicals have assumed a permanent and prominent place in American popular culture, The Richard Rodgers Reader will offer endless delights.

Thank you very much TIA ANTONIA!!!
