PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Millie Taylor is Emeritus Professor of Musical Theatre at the University of Winchester, UK, and Endowed Professor of the Musical at the University of Amsterdam. She has published books and articles on British pantomime, musical theatre and theatre music. Adam Rush is Senior Lecturer in Musical Theatre at the University of Winchester, UK. His research has been published in Studies in Musical Theatre and in several edited collections.
The history of musical theatre has been told countless times, and often in the same way; so it is refreshing to read a study of the musical that offers a myriad tellings of the tale. Like holding a diamond up to Broadway and West End shows, each chapter in Taylor and Rush's fascinating book offers a different perspective. For students and scholars of the musical, the book provides a rich seam of thought-provoking discussions written in an accessible and engaging way. Bouncing between Britain and America in its central focus, it explores the musical as a ‘transnational’ form – one that has developed on either side of the Atlantic, yet one that has always been caught in a tussle between two different worlds. In the expert hands of Millie Taylor and Adam Rush, readers will experience an exciting set of transatlantic adventures in musical theatre. * Dominic Symonds (Professor of Musical Theatre, University of Lincoln, UK) *
