Google Preview: A companion to the six-part PBS documentary series, "Broadway: The American Musical" is the first comprehensive history of the musical, from its roots at the turn of the 20th century through the smashing successes of the new millennium. The in-depth text is lavishly illustrated with a treasure trove of photographs, sheet-music covers, posters, scenic renderings, production stills, rehearsal shots, and caricatures, many previously unpublished. Complementing the narrative are sidebars that highlight the stars, the shows, and the songs - the key ingredients that make the musical great. Each chapter also includes essays written by some of Broadway's most fascinating luminaries, past and present.; Laurence Maslon is an arts professor at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts' Graduate Acting Program. He hosts the weekly radio program, "Broadway to Main Street" (winner of the 2019 ASCAP Foundation/Deems Taylor Award for Radio Broadcast) and has written many books on popular culture, including The Sound of Music Companion, and Broadway to Main Street: How Show Tunes Enchanted America. For the Library of America, he has edited Kaufman & Co. (George S. Kaufman's plays) and the two-volume collection of American Musicals (1927-1969). With Michael Kantor, he was co-writer of the multi-part PBS series Make 'Em Laugh and Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle, as well as their companion volumes. He often sings show tunes, even without being asked. Michael Kantor is a writer, director, and producer who created the PBS series Broadway: The American Musical, which won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Nonfiction Series. Other work includes the Emmy-nominated Make 'Em Laugh: The Funny Business of America and the Peabody Award-winning program for the Great Performances series, Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy. Beginning in 2014, Kantor has been Executive Producer of the acclaimed American Masters series on PBS, where he oversees films such as Raul Julia: The World's a Stage, Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story, and Sammy Davis Jr. I've Gotta Be Me.
