Best Book on of Musical Theater WritingBy SomeGuyYouDontKnowI own several excellent books on writing musicals. and if I could keep only one. this is the one Id save.Both authors are experienced teachers. which is a great benefit to the reader -- the book reads like a well-written instruction manual: clear. concise. straightforward. and practical. It explains the nuts and bolts of a good musical and how to approach them. with examples and explanations of what tends to work and what doesnt. (This is not to say that the authors encourage formulaic writing -- the guidelines are not rigid. and they are reasoned well enough that a reader can make informed decisions).The most unique feature of this book is that the authors actually brainstormed and wrote an "example" musical and documented their procedures and decisions along the way. This is an invaluable resource which adds a very practical. hands-on dimension to what was already an excellent book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Satya J. PalitVery useful0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Musical Theater BookBy DoodlebugAlthough I did receive some valuable tips and information from this book. I would have liked more of the authors feeling about some of the newer musicals out there. It almost seemed like they avoided any critical commentary on some of the musicals Ive seen that dont have a very strong story line. However. the book is well worth buying if you are interested in writing musicals. It gives you the basics. and I was able to use some of what I learned to restructure the musical I am working on.
