| Publisher Description: Staging Musicals describes all the elements involved in putting on a musical production, including: choosing the right show, creating budgets and schedules, auditions, rehearsals and performances, as well as showing you to deal with set and costume design, lighting and publicity. Drawing on his experience as an actor, director and producer of musical theatre, as well as from many interviews with other producers, choreographers and desginers in the UK and the US, Matthew White shows how the ideal production is the result of careful organisation and a dedicated team. Structured as a step by step reference detailing every stage of the work, Staging Musicals is a must-have text for any would-be impresarios planning their production. |
