Description

Broadway musicals are a staple of American culture, attracting millions of viewers every year. While many view these productions as lighthearted entertainment, they often carry deeper meanings about the nation's identity.

This updated second edition provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of the genre. It traces the history of racial themes in musical theater from the era of Show Boat (1927) all the way to the modern impact of Hamilton (2015).
