The Broadway musical is one of Americas great indigenous popular forms, a glorious hybrid that emerged out of our speech, our tempo, our moral attitudes, our way of moving (as Leonard Bernstein put it).

Based on new research, this historic collection presents the complete libretto of each musical in its Broadway opening night version, making these beloved stories available as never before. Irving Berlin and Moss Harts As Thousands Cheer is published here for the first time. Show Boat and Pal Joey are presented in newly restored versions. South Pacific returns to print for the first time in decades.Each of these classic musicals has evolved over time, receiving many important revivals and new productions. This Library of America volume offers readers unprecedented insight into this living history with a selection of hardtofind or previously unpublished supplementary items, including lyrics of songs dropped outoftown or added in later revivals. Lavishly illustrated with 32 pages of photographs and other images drawn from the original productions, this volume also contains biographical sketches of the book writers and lyricists; cast lists and other information about the shows Broadway openings; and detailed accounts of the path each show took on the road to Broadway.AMERICAN MUSICALS 19271949 contains:Show BoatBook and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II Music by Jerome KernAs Thousands CheerLyrics and music by Irving Berlin Sketches by Moss HartPal JoeyBook by John OHara Music by Richard Rodgers Lyrics by Lorenz HartOklahoma!Music by Richard Rodgers Book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein IIOn the TownBook and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green Music by Leonard BernsteinFinians RainbowMusic by Burton Lane Lyrics by E.
