Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. The book considers the career of the most honored and influential producer/director in the history of the postwar American musical theatre. As producer of such shows as The Pajama Game, Damn Yankees, Fiddler on the Roof, and West Side Story, and as producer/director of a series of landmark collaborations (including Company, Follies, Pacific Overtures and Sweeney Todd) with composter/ lyricist Stephen Sondheim, Prince has helped significantly to altered the structure as well as the content of a popular American entertainment form. In his two collaborations with Andrew Lloyd Webber, Evita and The Phantom of the Opera, Prince has also had a substantial impact on the contemporary British musical. Placing the origins and development of the American musical, the author describes how Prince enhanced the musical's artistic stature without forsaking its traditional appeal. The elements of Prince's signature- his convention-challenging subject matter and use of music, the revitalizing theatricality of his production designs are discussed in detail, enriched by extensive interviews with Prince and many of his colleagues, including Sondheim and Prince's mentor George Abbott, and by many rare production photos that illustrate Prince's innovative concepts in decor and stage movement. Written in a lively, pungent style and filled with first-hand observations of Prince at work, the book provides a wealth of backstage material about the way a musical is developed, from initial concept to previews to opening night. Harold Prince and the American Musical Theatre will be of interest to theatre professionals and students as well as to readers with a more general interest in theatre., Books<
