TwentyFirst Century Musicals stakes a place for the musical in todays cinematic landscape, taking a look at leading contemporary shows from their stage origins to their bigscreen adaptations. Each chapter offers a new perspective on a single musical, challenging populist narratives and exploring underlying narratives and subtexts in depth. Themes of national identity; race, class and gender; the voice and singing live on film; authenticity; camp sensibilities; and the celebration of failure are addressed in a series of questions including:How does the film adaptation provide a different viewing experience from the stage version?What themes are highlighted in the film adaptation?What does the new casting bring to the work?Do camera angles dictate a different reading from the stage version?What is lost/gained in the process of adaptation to film?Reinterpreting the contemporary film musical as a compelling art form, TwentyFirst Century Musicals is a mustread for any student or scholar keen to broaden their understanding of musical performance.
