| In Open a New Window: the Broadway Musical in the 1960's, Ethan Mordden surveys another decade of Broadway shows. In the sixties, the Broadway musical got somewhat darker. It also got much more expensive, so that a Broadway musical had to be a big hit to make money. Among the shows of the decade were Bye Bye Birdie, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Hello, Dolly!, Mame, Funny Girl, Camelot, and Cabaret. Lots of trivia for the Broadway musical trivia fanatic, including a lot of names that are likely to be meaningless to many readers. Available from amazon.com. |
