Description

Explore the deep connection between the French capital and the world of musical theater. Paris and the Musical examines how this iconic city functions as a central character across Broadway, Hollywood, and West End productions. This academic study tracks the evolution of Paris as a recurring trope throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, looking at how stage and screen portrayals have changed over time. This volume provides a detailed look at both global hits and lesser-known works.
