 A true must-have book for all musical theatre fans! July 26, 2000

This book has proven and indispensable part of my theatre library, and if you get it, it will become one for you as well. Want to know what date the original production of Show Boat opened on Broadway? This book will tell you. Who the original stars of Mexican Hayride were? That's in here, too. You will be able to find the answer to just about any question you could ever ask of Broadway's hit musicals. A perfect companion piece to Ken Mandelbaum's Not Since Carrie (which chronicles the flop musicals this book mostly excludes), and a wonderful way of tracking the history of the Broadway musical, Broadway Musicals: Show by Show is as comprehensive, helpful, and essential as reference books on Broadway come.

Enough can't be said about this book! It is a masterpiece for theatre buffs like myself. I live by that book, since I'm involved in theatre on a daily basis. When considering which musical to use in our high school's season next year I immediately turned to this book for it's easy synopsis of so many hit shows, it's staistics about the shows, and it's genuine knowledge. The best reference book about theatre on the market today! Period.
This book is a great reference March 11, 2006

I purchased this book for my father. He is a music professor and teaches a course in Broadway Musicals. He just raved about how helpful it is to he and his students.

Broadway Musicals Show by Show: Sixth EditionExcellent book, containing very interesting facts and figures, reviews,casts, runs,& theatres played. This edition includes upto Young Frankstein. Very handy for revealing obscure facts about the shows. It has (and still is) very helpful in my selection of shows to add to my Musicals CD collection.
Indispensable September 14, 2009
Philip Dorian (New Jersey)
As a published theater critic, I find this book indispensable. Just enough info about dates, casts, directors, composers, songs, etc. to fill in memory gaps. I buy every new edition (current 5th edition covers through 2007 season) and it's soon dogeared from use.
