New stage musicals, such as \u003cem\u003eCome from Away\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Band's Visit\u003c\/em\u003e, open on Broadway every season, challenging conventions of form and content, and revivals offer audiences a different perspective on extant shows (\u003cem\u003eCarousel; My Fair Lady\u003c\/em\u003e). Television musicals broadcast live hearken back to 1950s television's affection for musical theatre and aim to attract new audiences through the accessibility of television. Film musicals, including Les Mis?rables and Into the Woods, capitalize on the medium's technical capabilities of perspective and point of view, as well as visual spectacle. Television has embraced the genre anew, and with unexpected gusto, not only devising musical episodes for countless dramatic and comedy series, but also generating musical series such as \u003cem\u003eGalavant\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCrazy Ex-Girlfriend\u003c\/em\u003e. And animated musicals, such as Disney's\u003cem\u003e Moana\u003c\/em\u003e, hail child and adult audiences with their dual messages, vibrant visual vocabulary, and hummable music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters gathered in this book, Volume II of the reissued \u003cem\u003eOxford Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e, explore the American musical from the various media in which musicals have been created to the different components of a musical and the people who do the work to bring a musical to life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaymond Knapp\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMitchell Morris \u003c\/strong\u003eis Associate Professor of Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStacy Wolf \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor in the Program in Theater and Director of the Princeton Atelier in the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 02, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460791976189,"sku":"9780190877828","price":58.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/dY08uwAIQ_9780190877828.webp?v=1777256261","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/media-and-performance-in-the-musical-an-oxford-handbook-of-the-american-musical-volume-2-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
