It traces the history and development of the industry and art form in The us with a particular center of attention on its artistic and commercial development in New York City from the early 20th century to the present. Emphasis is placed on commercial, artistic and cultural events that influenced the Broadway musical for an ever-renewing, increasingly more broad and diverse audience: the Gilded Age, the Great Depression, the World War II era, the British invasion within the 1980s and the media age at the turn of the twenty-first century.

For students, these essays provide models of varying approaches and interpretation, equipping them with the skills and understanding to develop their very own analysis of key productions.
