My daughters are training in musical theatre and I brought this to inspire them - it certainly has! But you don't need to be in showbiz to appreciate this gorgeous book - whether you just like to hum the occasional show tune, listen to the radio, are an avid theatre-goer or a musical theatre nut, this book is enticing, diverting and also educational. Beautifully presented and designed, sumptuous use of colour photography and clever organisation of information into themes, historical periods, genres and bite-sized snippets of information. Whether you want to dip in and out or devour it in one delicious sitting, this book is a delight for theatre-lovers in general and and an absolute treat for musical theatre fans. Highly recommend it as a gift.

Bought for 13 (going on 20) year old granddaughter who is mad keen on performing in musicals at school and the Scouts Gang Show. She absolutely loves it and has read from cover to cover. I am sure she would now be able to go on Mastermind with the specialist subject of musicals!. This is a very informative and colourful book, covers Musical from the 1900s to the present day and has been a huge success

It was quick and exactly what I wanted!

Great reference book for theatre lovers

W.D. · 10 June 2020

We bought this book for our daughter who loved that it covers all the Broadway and West End musicals that have been produced up to the date of publication. It explains all the different trends and the key players for the development of musicals. It's beautifully presented with photos. Lots of info, which means the text is a bit small. Nevertheless, a great gift for people who are interested in musicals.
