Anything goes :  a history of American musical theatre / 
Ethan Mordden. 
 - 400 pages :  illustrations ;  24 cm 
<br/><br/>Includes bibliographical references and index. 
<br/><br/> After six volumes on the musical's history, decade by decade from the 1920s through the 1970s, Ethan Mordden takes an entirely fresh look at the musical, from 'The Beggar's Opera' to 'Wicked'. In his trademark style that is at once scholarly, witty, and conversational, Mordden emphasizes not only the writing of musicals but the performing of them, taking the reader virtually into the theatre to experience what a great show is like, whether Victor Herbert's 'The Red Mill' or Stephen Sondheim's 'Follies'.
