A transatlantic study of musical theatre’s changing landscape

Covering British and American musical theatre in the 1980s and 1990s, this study examines a period of substantial change in the form. M. Lundskaer-Nielsen centers the growing involvement of established directors associated with serious theatre in mainstream musical productions, using that contribution as a lens on shifts within the field. Its dual Anglo-American scope places Broadway and British musical theatre in conversation rather than treating either tradition in isolation. With its emphasis on analysis and theatrical direction, the book offers a focused scholarly framework for considering how directorial practice intersected with the musical drama of these two decades.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and scholars of musical theatre history
  • Theatre practitioners interested in directing and musical drama
  • Readers seeking a comparative British-American performing-arts study
