<br/><br/> Musicals are the most popular form of stage entertainment today, with the West End and Broadway dominated by numerous long-running hits. But for every 'Wicked' or 'Phantom of the Opera', there are dozens of casualties that didn't fare quite so well. In this book, Julian Woolford explores the musical theatre canon to explain why and how some musicals work, why some don't and what you should (and shouldn't) do if you're thinking about writing your own.
