Chinese Summary/中文概要： 随着由Oliver热播剧的推出，《音乐之声》和另类音乐剧，如《发胶》和《女巫前传》，乃至曾风靡一时的百老汇名剧《西区》，音乐剧似乎一直以来都历久弥新，深受大众喜爱。本书的作者詹姆斯•伊文向我们展示了所有最为经典的前一百部作品，无论您是否对帕尔•乔伊的《金牌制作人》，还是从你的WitchWitch上知道《西区故事》，费伯出版社的这本袖珍音乐剧指南手册中介绍了这其中有趣的幕后故事，《悲催世界》的最美的演绎是否是用希伯来语来演绎的？亦或是梅尔•布鲁克斯(还是埃里克•艾多尔)是第一个想要制作《金牌制作人》的音乐人？或是关于为了格蕾丝•凯丽而在荷兰建造一个巨大专用剧场而失败的可笑传闻？ (Sandy)
