PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Doug Reside is the Curator of the Billy Rose Theatre Division. He joined NYPL in 2011 first as the digital curator for the performing arts before assuming his current position in 2014. Prior to joining NYPL, Reside served on the directorial staff of the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities at the University of Maryland. He has published and spoken on topics related to theater history, literature, and digital humanities, and has managed several large grant-funded projects on these topics. He holds a PhD in English from the University of Kentucky.
In Fixing the Musical, Doug Reside brilliantly excavates what's been hiding in plain sight: how audiences, artists, and academics encounter, engage with, and enjoy musical theatre outside of the performance itself. This indispensable book tells the fascinating and surprising histories of musical theatre's various 'fixed' forms, from published librettos to cast albums, films, bootleg recordings, licensing, and more. Impeccable archival research and a lively, accessible voice make Fixing the Musical necessary and delightful. * Stacy Wolf, Author of Beyond Broadway: The Pleasure and Promise of Musical Theatre Across America * Doug Reside has taken a deep dive into a hitherto unexamined side of musical theater: technology. He goes from how scripts and musical scores were first printed, up to the creation of ancillary materials licensing houses offer to help mount productions. Reside makes us question many of our assumptions while surprising us with a lot of new information. * Ted Chapin, Former President, The Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization *
