Books by Mark Steyn

Steyn takes a sharp-eyed look at the whole span of Broadway musical history, seven decades of brilliant achievements. In this delicious book, he reflects on geniuses and monsters, hits and atomic bombs, and the wonderful stories that prove there's no business like show business.

The Broadway musical was a glorious seventy-year tradition, proceeding smoothly from Jerome Kern to Rodgers and Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim, and giving us along the way the best songs in American popular music, the art of lyric-writing, the structural integrity of the musical play and a new form of dramatic choreography.
