Show Tunes fully chronicles the shows, songs, and careers of the major composers        of the American musical theatre, from Jerome Kern's earliest interpolations to the        latest hits on Broadway. Legendary composers like Gershwin, Rodgers, Porter, Berlin,        Bernstein, and Sondheim have been joined by more recent songwriters like Stephen        Schwartz, Stephen Flaherty, Michael John LaChiusa, and Adam Guettel. This majestic        reference book covers their work, their innovations, their successes, and their        failures. Show Tunes is simply the most comprehensive volume of its kind ever        produced, and this newly revised and updated edition discusses almost 1,000 shows        and 9,000 show tunes. The book has been called "e;a concise skeleton key to the        Broadway musical"e; (Variety) and "e;a ground-breaking reference work with a difference"e;        (Show Music)-or, as the Washington Post observed, "e;It makes you sing and dance all        over your memory."e;The eagerly anticipated Fourth Edition, updated through May, 2009,        features the entire theatrical output of forty of Broadway's leading composers, in        addition to a wide selection of work by other songwriters. The listings include        essential production data and statistics, the most extensive information available        on published and recorded songs, and lively commentary on the shows, songs, and        diverse careers. Based on meticulous research, the book also uncovers dozens of lost        musicals-including shows that either closed out of town or were never headed for        Broadway-and catalogs hundreds of previously unknown songs, including a number of        musical gems that have been misplaced, cut, or forgotten. Informative, insightful,        and provocative, Show Tunes is an essential guide for anyone interested in the        American musical.
