The Routledge Companion to Musical Theatre

Gives a truly comprehensive breadth of coverage of every aspect of musical theatre, from its history to how it is produced to how it is experienced. This makes for an ideal primer for any aspect of the subject.Takes a deliberately global approach, citing at least one non-Western case study in each chapter, in keeping with the global outlook of much contemporary teaching and scholarship. Musical Theatre is one of the main growth areas in Theatre and Performance, with dedicated conservatories, departments and a core place on all performing arts degrees.
