Thomas G. Aylesworth presents a rich, panoramic survey of this uniquely American art form, examining landmark productions and the creative forces behind them — the composers, lyricists, directors, choreographers, and stars who shaped an entire century of popular entertainment.\n\nAylesworth writes with the authority of a cultural historian and the enthusiasm of a true devotee, illustrating how the tension between theatrical authenticity and cinematic spectacle produced some of the most iconic works in entertainment history. The book argues that this Broadway-to-Hollywood pipeline was not merely an act of adaptation, but a complex cultural negotiation that reshaped both industries. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, this volume is an indispensable companion for anyone captivated by the golden age of the movie musical — and curious about what was gained, and lost, in translation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160810168539,"sku":"2026200011995-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a73d93ba-57c4-4427-a774-4f3b0cd70fe2.png?v=1787187724","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011995-secondhand-broadway-to-hollywood-musicals-from-stage-to-screen","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
