Stephen Sondheim and the Reinvention of the American Musical

Auteur: McLaughlin, Robert L.
Editeur: University Press of Mississippi
From West Side Story in 1957 to Road Show in 2008, the musicals of Stephen Sondheim and his collaborators have challenged the conventions of American musical theatre. This text places Stephen Sondheim's work in two contexts: the exhaustion of the musical play and the postmodernism that, by the 1960s, deeply influenced all the American arts.
