Writing
the Broadway Musical by Aaron Frankel
In only 192
pages, Frankel presents writing for the musical theatre from the
perspective of the book writer, lyricist and composer -- and how
each contributes to the whole. Enough specifics for each to gain
a better appreciation of the others' unique contributions. The
book would be an excellent introductory text for a musical theate
workshop. Most examples from My Fair Lady are illustrative and
excellent; other examples from Company were less helpful (as that
show was less successful). Highly recommended for those working
on musical to keep near at hand. -- Anonymous Reviewer (Amazon.com)
