Harold Prince and the American Musical Theatre
Product Description
Here is a complete look at the outstanding career of Harold Prince, the most honored and influential producer/director in the history of postwar American musical theatre. Prince was a producer of
The Pajama Game, Damn Yankees, Fiddler on the Roof
and
West Side Story
; producer and director of
Cabaret
; and was involved in a series of landmark collaborations with composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim, including
Company, Follies, A Little Night Music
and
Sweeney Todd
. He directed Andrew Lloyd Webber's
Evita
and
The Phantom of the Opera
. His work has helped significantly to alter the musical, with convention-challenging subject matter, music, staging and design. It's no wonder he's won more Tony Awards than anyone else: 20 and counting.
Foster Hirsch has updated the 1989 edition of this book to include Prince's more recent work on
Kiss of the Spider Woman, Parade
and the award-winning revival of
Show Boat
. He most notably gives an account of the creation and fortunes of
Bounce
, the 2003 musical that reunited Prince and Sondheim for the first time in 20 years. Prince gave Hirsch privileged, behind-the-scenes info during Bounce's pre-production process that makes for riveting reading. Prince's career is followed through both the victories and the disappointments. The book is illustrated with numerous rare photos of Prince's work, making it a must for any theatre fan!
“Hirsch's book is marvelous, containing some of the best analysis of major musicals I've ever come across.”
– Ken Mandelbaum,
Theater Week
