Broadway cover

This volume is another example in the Routledge tradition of producing high-quality reference works on theater, music, and the arts. An A to Z encyclopedia of Broadway, this volume includes tons of information, including producers, writer, composers, lyricists, set designers, theaters, performers, and landmarks in its sweep.

'Bloom adds a touch of atmosphere with entries on critics, restaurants, publicity stunts, nightclubs, and other periphery characters and incidents that are so much a part of the Great White Way. As much a storyteller as a chronicler, he uses anecdotes and a plethora of black-and-white photographs, many never before published, to produce and entertaining as well as an informative work. Highly recommended for all theater collections.' – Library Journal

'Recommended. All academic and public library theater and cultural studies collections.' – Choice

'No other reference work on Broadway includes coverage as vast or as comprehensive. Bloom's classic Encyclopedia is the single best guide to Broadway available anywhere.' – The Guide to Musical Theatre

'This fact-packed, entertaining survey of the highlights of American theater is truly an outstanding value for both academic and public libraries.' – Lawrence Looks atBooks
