This is a well done companion book to the Special Broadway: The American Musical. It is a wonderful addition to the DVD set. Coffee-table size, excellent photography, and concise information make it a great value. If you are looking for information on a particular show, this is an excellent place to begin.
Beautiful book great for studying and a nice coffee table book. Lots of pictures and goes decade by decade for easy looking up and learning. I would highly recommend getting the DVD hosted by Julie Andrews as well if you plan to study with it. Highly Recommend if you are extremely interested in Musical Theatre or if you want to have a nice learning tool. This is the link to the DVD if you're interested: Broadway: The American Musical
