Beschreibung

From the diverse proto-musicals of the mid-1800s, through the revues of the 1920s, the 'true musicals' of the 1940s, the politicization of the 1960s, the 'mega-musicals' of the 1980s, and the explosive jukebox musicals of the 2010s and '20s, every era in American musical theatre reflected a unique set of socio-cultural factors.
