Covering every major production containing music, this revised guide to the American musical theatre includes details of over 1000 additional shows. In all, the details on 4300 productions, from vaudeville, operetta, nightclub revues, and the Follies to the emergence of the modern musical theatre are featured. The two volumes focus on a wide array of shows: from Broadway musicals to regional productions; from television musicals to ice shows; from nightclub scores to foreign shows by many writers. The first part contains factual entries on the shows. Each entry contains not only more commonly known information - such as the name and type of the show, the cast list, composer, librettist, lyricist, director, producer and choreographer, but also the lesser-known facts such as the opening date, set designer, lighting technician, costumer and music director. A list of songs in each show is also included. The second part acts as three indexes to the set. These contain all the songs of American musicals, all the people connected with them and all the show titles.
