About this product

Product Information

The Broadway musical is one of America's great indigenous popular forms, a glorious hybrid that emerged "out of our speech, our tempo, our moral attitudes, our way of moving" (as Leonard Bernstein put it). Now in the second volume of a landmark two-volume collection, The Library of America presents eight enduring masterpieces charting the Broadway musical's narrative tradition from the genre's Golden Age to its response to the turbulent 1960s with the Tony Award-winning shows Cabaret and 1776. Based on new research, this historic collection presents the complete libretto of each musical in its Broadway opening night version, making these beloved stories available as never before. Several shows, including Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady , return to print for the first time in decades. Each of these classic musicals has evolved over time, receiving many important revivals and new productions. This Library of America boxed set offers readers unprecedented insight into this living history with a selection of hard-to-find or previously unpublished supplementary items, including lyrics of songs dropped out-of-town or added in later revivals. Lavishly illustrated-- with 32 pages of photographs and other images drawn from the original productions, the set also contains biographical sketches of the book writers and lyricists; cast lists and other information about the shows' Broadway openings; and detailed accounts of the path each show took on the road to Broadway. AMERICAN MUSICALS 1950-1969 contains: Guys and Dolls Music and lyrics by Frank Loesser - Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows The Pajama Game Book by George Abbott and Richard Bissell - Music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross My Fair Lady Adaptation and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner - Music by Frederick Loewe Gypsy Book by Arthur Laurents - Music by Jule Styne Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum Book by Larry Gelbart and Burt Shevelove - Lyrics and music by Stephen Sondheim Fiddler on the Roof Book by Joseph Stein - Music by Jerry Bock - Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick Cabaret Book by Joe Masteroff - Music by John Kander - Lyrics by Fred Ebb 1776 Music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards - Book by Peter Stone LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing.
