Book Reviews of Broadway Musicals: The 101 Greatest Shows of All Time
Book Review: What About a Sequel?
Summary: 5 Stars
While praising this book's really extraordinary collection of rare photographs, many of the Amazon reviewers seem hung up on the selection of shows. One almost feels that they expect books to reflect their personal taste, whereas books naturally reflect the taste of their authors. In fact, the authors have been rather conservative in what to include. Imagine if the choice of titles were as madcap as some of their photo captions. The 101 Greatest Shows might then have included Portofino, Buttrio Square, or Illya, Darling. There really isn't a lot of wiggle room in the first 101--but how about a second volume? Then there would really be questionable inclusions, bones of contention, readers in quandary. I'm dying to see two pages of stills from The Vamp.
