I read this when it was current and I had seen some of the productions Goldman talked about and had read about many more. This all made the book extremely interesting. However, now, unless you're interested in the history of Broadway productions in the 1960s, I don't think this would mean much at all. ( ) i agree, really great Goldman. Talking with George C. Scott about how his vision of Dr. Cook's Garden differed slightly with Burl ives:)) And his recounting of how Vincent Price' singing voice sounded--but it is also a book about how creative people work and how vastly difficult the odds,a book that has its grasp around his honest opinions and how it really all is a bit of magic and speaking of MAGIC... initial chapter on judy garlands 1967 engagement at the palace theatre combines the best and the worst of writing about this performer .. i'm hardly dispassionate (as a passionate fan myself) .. yet i find much to admire in goldman's section on the performer and her audience and the meta theatrical experience of a garland live performance in those years. and this slice of the 1967-68 season is just the beginning of the author's analysis. the book on the whole is an ambitious and important look, attempting to capture the story of every single production that actually opened on broadway in that particular season. with in depth personal research by the author where possible. an amazing tome. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
This book attempts to explain why Broadway is what it is. The author takes each production of one year and relates it to some aspect of the over-all Broadway scene including directors, stars, playwrights, reviewers, audiences, tryout tours, scalpers, and backers. No library descriptions found. |
