About this product
Product Information
During the Twenties, the Great White Way roared with nearly 300 book musicals. Luminaries who wrote for Broadway during this decade included Irving Berlin, George M. Cohan, Rudolf Friml, George Gershwin, Oscar Hammerstein II, Lorenz Hart, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Sigmund Romberg, and Vincent Youmans, and the era's stars included Eddie Cantor, Al Jolson, Ruby Keeler, and Marilyn Miller. Light-hearted Cinderella musicals dominated these years with such hits as Kern's long-running Sally, along with romantic operettas that dealt with princes and princesses in disguise. Plots about bootleggers and Prohibition abounded, but there were also serious musicals, including Kern and Hammerstein's masterpiece Show Boat. In The Complete Book of 1920s Broadway Musicals, Dan Dietz examines in detail every book musical that opened on Broadway during the years 1920-1929. The book discusses the era's major successes as well as its forgotten failures. The hits include A Connecticut Yankee; Hit the Deck!; No, No, Nanette; Rose-Marie; Show Boat; The Student Prince; The Vagabond King; and Whoopee, as well as ambitious failures, including Deep River; Rainbow; and Rodgers' daring Chee-Chee. Each entry contains the following information: *Plot summary *Cast members *Names of creative personnel, including book writers, lyricists, composers, directors, choreographers, producers, and musical directors *Opening and closing dates *Number of performances *Plot summary *Critical commentary *Musical numbers and names of the performers who introduced the songs *Production data, including information about tryouts *Source material *Details about London productions Besides separate entries for each production, the book offers numerous appendixes, including ones which cover other shows produced during the decade (revues, plays with music, miscellaneous musical presentations, and a selected list of pre-Broadway closings). Other appendixes include a discography, filmography, a list of published scripts, and a list of black-themed musicals. This book contains a wealth of information and provides a comprehensive view of each show. The Complete Book of 1920s Broadway Musicals will be of use to scholars, historians, and casual fans of one of the greatest decades in the history of musical theatre.

[A] well-researched reference book. . . This heavy, four pound, 650-page volume cover the plot summary, cast members, important dates and some fairly lengthy "critical commentaries" of over 285 "book shows". There is a basic discography. . . I keep picking up this book and just diving in anywhere., With this volume dedicated to the 1920s, Dietz nears completion of his detailed chronological set of books on Broadway shows. In earlier volumes (all reviewed in these pages), he covered 1930 through 2009. The 287 musicals opening between January 1, 1920, and December 31, 1929--compare to 28 opened in the 1930s--included shows with new music, revues, plays with incidental music (often by Broadway's greatest composers--Kern, Gershwin, Porter, et al.), operas that received their New York premieres, imports, pre-Broadway closings, and special engagements. As in the previous volumes, Dietz gives plot summaries, casts and crews, run dates, critical commentary, musical numbers and performers, source material, awards and nominations, and other data. The volume concludes with 13 useful appendixes, including one on Gilbert and Sullivan productions and another on black-themed shows such as Shuffle Along. Dietz relies heavily on critical commentaries and newspaper reviews, but his additional comments make for an enjoyable, sometimes hilarious complement to the fact-based narratives. Like the rest of the volumes in the set, this one will be a valuable resource for those interested in musical theater.Summing Up: Recommended. Researchers, faculty, general readers.
