With Millie Taylor & Adam Rush authors of Musical Theatre Histories — Expanding The Narrative
My guests again this week are Millie Taylor & Adam Rush, the authors of a very interesting new book titled, Musical Theatre Histories: Expanding the Narrative.
This is the second part of our conversation about their unique approach to relating the history of both the American and the British Musical Theatre. They accomplish this through their use of multiple thematic 'histories' that take readers on a series of journeys down both familiar and less traveled paths into the art form's origins, development, and relationships to the media, censorship, gender diversity, and national identity — and those are just topics we talk about today!
If you missed part one you may want to catch up with that episode before listening to this one.
