Pressestimmen
"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"
Kurzbeschreibung
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.

The BROADWAY MUSICALS Book of the Year
11. November 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
"Broadway Musicals: The 101 Greatest Musicals of All Time" is a theatrical banquet, a party at Mame's Beekman Place apartment, an airbourne ride after Peter Pan sprinkles fairy dust, a red staircase entrance into Harmonia Gardens. It's WHY we love the musical theatre. I hardly agree with all of the authors' choices, but that's the fun of the book. Easily four dozen photos (mostly in color and magnificently reproduced) made me delirious: Angela Lansbury blowing her bugle in "Mame," Beatrice Lillie and Tammy Grimes in "High Spirits," Carol Channing's "Hello, Dolly!" second act entrance, 21-year-old and still-spontaneous Barbra Streisand in never-before-published photos from "Funny Girl," an entrancing "Carnival!" picture, Dolores Gray and her look-alike mother, Susan Johnson's two motorcycle photos, a candid shot of Ethel Merman having a shoe removed by her dresser. The list goes on and on. Two major books about Broadway musicals have reecently been published. "Broadway: The American Musical" (a tie-with the the PBS three-part series) is extremely interesting, superbly researched and scholarly. "Broadway Musicals: The 101 Greatest Musicals of All Time," reviewed here, is more enjoyable because it captures the flavor, thrill, excitement, glamour, star-power, magic and zest of seeing the best of Broadway's musical theatre. If you have to choose one, get this one. Better still, get both.

101 of the best, and then some.
21. November 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
When you first open this book you can't help but turn to those shows that have become your favorites. I first turned to Gypsy, then Evita, Phantom, Cats, and on and on. All my favorites were there. Most of them, showed the original cast from the first production.
Gypsy featured Ethel Merman as Mama Rose, Sandra Church as Louise/Gypsy in the original production. The book then goes on to other Rose's: Angela Lansbury, Tyne Daly, Bernadette Peters. In each case it talks about the unique characterizations brought to the stage by the leading lady.
This is typical treatment for this book where most of the plays (the really popular ones) get similar treatment. In addition there are side bars that give details on some of the other people (directors, composers, custome people, etc.) that have made these shows what they are.
There's only one problem with the book, you can't put it down. I know, I've tried, and somehow it falls open to My Fair Lady....

Wonderful - but list may surprise!
12. Dezember 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The immediate thing that strikes you upon picking up this mammoth book is the amazing (RARE!) photos. Jerry Orbach, who does the foreward, even admits that some photos of HIMSELF he had never seen! For example, I am one of the biggest "EVITA nuts" out there, and there were three pictures of Patti LuPone I'd never seen before.
The sheer amount of photos is enough to make this book a "must-buy." Yet, that's not to negate the detailed text. There are performer highlights as well as quips and trivia from most shows. My only problem is the list. As with all "Best of..." lists, there are many obvious choices (FUNNY GIRL, SOUND OF MUSIC, HELLO DOLLY!, GYPSY) as well as quite a few shockers.
I at first thought the book was firmly leaning backward until I noticed THE FULL MONTY. Not that I have a problem with that show (or with any of the following shows) but why is THE FULL MONTY in here, but not THE PRODUCERS? I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE is in here - but not RENT. DESTRY RIDES AGAIN is in here - but not ONCE UPON A MATTRESS. No MISS SAIGON. Even 42nd STREET is missing.
Of course, it is obvious that "list books" will always have glaring omissions (or additions!) - even if the book is The *1000* Greatest Shows of All Time. Nevertheless, don't let that editor's hatchet take away from your enjoyment of this book.
