Seriously Mad not only brings madness and musicals into dialogue but forges important ground in terms of the serious exploration of musical theater practice . . . Grinenko takes interest in the ways in which psychoanalysis shapes theatrical practice but also the broader cultural atmosphere around 'broken' minds."" --Anna Harpin, University of Warwick -- ""Anna Harpin, University of Warwick"" ""Reveals the complicated--and yet often repeated--intersection of musical theater and contemporaneous understandings of mental illness, in examples spanning decades. The research spans numerous fields including musical theater and the history of psychoanalysis, which are brought together in an entirely readable and persuasive way . . . The book will have an enormous impact on multiple fields."" --Jessica Sternfeld, Chapman University -- ""Jessica Sternfeld""" Author InformationAleksei Grinenko teaches theater disciplines at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
