Summary note
"This is an impressive compilation of the work of 30 top Broadway composers, divided into three parts by generation. Spanning 1905 to June 1985, the productions covered are presented in three sections: Show Data, including relevant dates, theaters and cities, composers, lyricists, and choreographers; Song Information, a guide to all published songs from each show; and Commentary, the author's brief comments on why and how composers wrote what they did. The book's greatest assets are its exhaustive song listings (which include songs reused in different productions, and differing versions of songs), and its coverage of recent productions."--Publisher's description.
