Musicals are undoubtedly one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the theatre today. They are also one of the most complex, since they often rely for their effect upon a combination of music, drama, dance, and spectacle. This book is an easy-to-read, step-by-step guide to the whole process of putting on a musical, placing a firm emphasis on good organization and careful planning. In "Staging a Musical," Matthew White describes all the elements involved in putting on a musical production, including: how to choose the right show, budgets and schedules, auditions, rehearsals, and performances. There are also sections on set design, costumes, sound, lighting, and publicity.
