Rarely is a book about the theatre as entertaining and informative as Stephen Citrons new guidebook to the creation of the musical. Filled with anecdotes; practical advice; and sparkling comments from the biggest Broadway insiders; The Musical from the Inside Out examines this major theatrical form from the creators point of view. Mr. Citron takes the reader through basic training and onto finding and securing material; writing the libretto; adding the songs; auditioning the players; workshopping; rehearsals; previews; and the excitement of opening night. He reveals the secrets of success as well as some of the common pitfalls of failure. "Theres never been a book like this;" wrote a columnist from Londons West End. Mr. Citrons bounty of information comes from his own vast experience; from interviews with well-known directors; producers; lyricists; composers; librettists; stage managers; and scenic artists; and from such luminaries as Stephen Sondheim; Andrew Lloyd Webber; Jerry Herman; Hal Prince; Jerome Robbins; Jerry Bock; Sheldon Harnick; John Kander; and Fred Ebb. The Musical From the Inside Out is an adventure for musical fans and required reading for professionals or amateurs involved in creating a musical.

Warshow included many etchings many with details.The color pictures are not detailed enough to see the brushwork. The detailed pictures are nice; but theres no explanation why this detail is chosen. The etchings are better because theyre black-and-white. All of the pictures are too small to see detail.I found that Zorn used the etching to think through the paintings. My plan is to identify those paintings with etchings and seek them out on Google art.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I bought three different Zorn books; all with different ...By H.
