Each chapter is written by a leading scholar and focuses on Broadway's most admired and popular productions. The book is ideally suited for classroom use and offers an otherwise unavailable introduction to a subject which is of great interest to students and scholars alike.American dramaFilm adaptationsFilm adaptationsHistory and criticismMotion pictures and literatureUnited StatesAmerican dramaFilm adaptationsHistory and criticism.Motion pictures and literature791.430973Bray William Robert1951-Palmer R.
