    The History of the Musical
     is a unique, bold, and entertaining undertaking that traces the musical from its origins in classical music (Gay’s
    The Beggar’s Opera
    , Offenbach’s operettas and Gilbert and Sullivan) to its flowering in America;
    Showboat
    ,
    Anything Goes
    , 
    High Society
    ,
    Guys and Dolls
    ,
    Oklahoma
    ,
    West Side Story
    ,
    The Sound of Music
    ,
    Oliver
    ,
    Cabaret
    ,
    A Little Night Music
    ,
    The Rocky Horror Show
    ,
    The Phantom of the Opera
    , and an almost endless list of other classics. 
    Endless too are the stars who brought life to these musicals: the composers Kern, Porter, Gershwin, Bernstein, Lloyd Webber; the famous partnerships such as Rogers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe; the performers Ethel Merman, Mary Martin, Howard Keel, Julie Andrews … and the tempestuous creative background to the productions themselves. With over 120 musical examples illustrating this remarkable story, the history of the musical in all its glory comes alive.
