Reviews

'This is the first book to chart the history of the musicalization of theatre comprehensively in relation to writers, directors, scenographers, and performers, and it does so with great clarity and authority. ... this book will secure a lasting place not only as a stimulating counter-history of twentieth-century theatre, but also as provocation to rethink the ontology of theatre itself, and the meaning of musicality.' Music and Letters 'Musicality in Theatre will serve as an important source for future studies in musical-theatrical intermediality...' Contemporary Theatre Review
