The shows, songs, and careers of Broadway's major composers--from Jerome Kern's first interpolation to Stephen Sondheim's latest work--are reexamined in this comprehensive reference book. Berlin, Gershwin, Rodgers, Porter, Arlen, Bernstein, Weill, Styne, and many more--their work, their innovations, their successes and failures are discussed. A total of 750 productions and 6,000 songs are cited and indexed. Also discussed are dozens of heretofore ignored shows that closed out of town or were not headed for Broadway; misplaced, forgotten songs, and shows by Kern, Gershwin, Rodgers, Loesser, Sondheim, and others have been rediscovered and carefully catalogued. Drawing upon his thorough knowledge of the workings of Broadway, Suskin analyzes the songs, shows, and composers from a practical, theatrical perspective.
