Reviews

Everett has written a thorough scholarly account of a major but now almost forgotten figure in twentieth century musical theater. The book surveys his life and career, highlights key works, and reveals many ways in which Friml's legacy remains among us even today. Jeffrey Magee, author of The Uncrowned King of Swing: Fletcher Henderson and Big Band Jazz
