| Sumario: | "Our Musicals, Ourselves is the first full-scale social history of the American musical theatre from the imported Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas of the late nineteenth century to such recent musicals as The Producers and Urinetown.

He is interested in how they engage, directly or metaphorically, contemporary politics and culture."--Jacket |
