Description
Explore the life and career of Leslie Stuart (1864-1928), a British songwriter who left a lasting mark on the musical theatre world. This Routledge publication, part of the Forgotten Stars of the Musical Theatre series, follows his journey from writing songs for vaudeville and blackface performers as a teenager to composing for major revues and legitimate stage productions. Learn about the creation of his most famous work, Florodora (1899).
