Anything Goes: A History of American Musical Theatre by Ethan Mordden

4.0

One of the best single volume texts about Broadway's history! The author is so sassy sometimes and I normally do not like authors injecting their own opinion in historical texts, but this one was so fun!

4/5 stars

Read this only if you are super interested in the early, early history of musical theatre. This book focuses mainly on the early development of the American musical and doesn't really touch on shows and people that are known by most fans. Even the Sondheim chapter only discusses Sondheim for a few pages, Not my favorite book.
