The dean of Broadway musical directors examines the dynamics of how the book; music and lyrics work together to create such hits as My Fair Lady ; Fiddler on the Roof ; Guys and Dolls ; Hair ; Pal Joey ; West Side Story ; Company ; South Pacific ; Threepenny Opera and Porgy and Bess . Howard Kissel; chief theater critic for the New York Daily News ; extends the reach of Engels subjects by bringing them up to date with commentary on such shows as A Chorus Line ; Nine ; Sunday in the Park with George ; Rent ; Working and Falsettos . Kissel offers a thoughtful history on how musical theater has evolved in the three decades since Engel wrote Words with Music (1972) and how Engels classic work remains vital and illuminating today.
