Women writing musicals : the legacy that the history books left out / by Tepper, Jennifer Ashley,author.; Applause Theatre & Cinema Books (Firm),publisher.;
The 18th and 19th centuries : beginnings -- 1900s : revues, large teams, and multi-hyphenates -- 1910s : operettas and specialty material -- 1920s : vaudeville origins, one-show wonders, and pop hits -- 1930s : musicals of the Great Depression -- 1940s : hit tunesmiths with Broadway flops, writers with major careers in other fields, and the longest running team in Broadway history -- 1950s : comedians, radio personalities, and women at the piano -- 1960s : family musicals, musical families, and conceiver credits -- 1970s : protest musicals, female teams, and writers of color -- 1980s : jukebox musicals and a return to revues -- 1990s : Disney, blues music, and autobiographical work -- 2000s : tongue-in-cheek comedy, jukebox phenomenons, and new media -- 2010s : celebrities, playwrights, and crossover artists."From the composers who pounded the pavement selling their music in Tin Pan Alley at the turn of the twentieth century; to the lyricists who broke new ground writing shows during the Great Depression; to the book writers who penned protest musicals fighting for social justice during the 1970s; to those who are revitalizing the landscape of American theatre today, 'Women Writing Musicals: The Legacy That the History Books Left Out' is the first-ever book to tell the story of over 300 inspiring women who wrote Broadway and Off-Broadway musicals. Author Jennifer Ashley Tepper offers here the definitive book on this topic, covering prolific and celebrated Broadway writers like Betty Comden and Jeanine Tesori, women who have written musicals but gained fame elsewhere like Dolly Parton and Sara Bareilles, and dramatists you've never heard of--but definitely should have. Among the gems shared here are the stories of Clara Driscoll, who saved the Alamo and also wrote a Broadway musical; Micki Grant, whose mega-hit musical about the Black experience made her the first woman to write book, music, and lyrics for a Broadway show; María Grever, who made her Broadway debut at age 56 and who was the first Mexican female composer to achieve international success; and the first all-female writing team for a Broadway musical, in 1922: Annelu Burns, Anna Wynne O'Ryan, Madelyn Sheppard, and Helen S. Woodruff. This treasure trove of tales about women who wrote musicals will make you look at theatre in a whole new way."--

Experiencing Broadway music : a listener's companion / by Sherrell, Kat,author.(CARDINAL)413233;

The birthday concert and A chorus line-- Megamusicals : Andrew Llloyd Webber: Gold album and Les misérables -- Musicals for the MTV generation : Rent and Spring awakening -- Diversity and integration : Hamilton."Experiencing Broadway Music: A Listener's Companion will cover approximately the last century of American musical theater, beginning with the early-twentieth-century shift from European-influenced operettas and bawdy variety shows to sophisticated works of seamlessly integrated song and dance that became uniquely American. It will conclude with an examination of current musical trends and practices on Broadway. As a musician who works on Broadway and in developmental musical theater, Kathryn Sherrell draws on both her knowledge as an historian of Broadway musical form and as a professional Broadway musician to explain and recreate the musical theatrical experience and offer an insider's perspective on the development and execution of the past and present Broadway scores. Despite its enormous breadth and given the historical significance of the musical in modern popular culture, Experiencing Broadway Music provides listeners--whether they know musical theater well or not at all--with the tools and background necessary to grasp or gain an understanding of the highly variegated structure and character of the Broadway musical over the last century." -- Publisher's description
