Gershwin, Rodgers, Porter, Berlin, Bernstein, Loesser, Sondheim, Kander, Finn, Flaherty, and more - this book covers their work, their innovations, their successes, and their failures. This newly revised and updated edition discusses over 900 shows and almost 8,000 show tunes."--BOOK JACKET.
"The Third Edition, updated through January 1999, features the entire theatrical output of thirty-six of Broadway's leading composers, in addition to a wide selection of work by other composers. The listings include essential production data and statistics, the most extensive information available on published and recorded songs, and lively commentary on the shows, songs, and diverse careers."--BOOK JACKET.
