Organized alphabetically, they include tent and outdoor shows, vaudeville, operas and operettas, comedies, farces, spectacles, revues, cabaret and nightclub shows, children's musicals, skits, one-act musicals, one-person shows, and even a musical without songs. In addition to the hundreds of shows independently created, produced, and performed by black writers and theatrical artists, it presents hundreds more representing a collaboration of black and white talents. An appendix organizes the shows chronologically and highlights those that were most significant in the history of the black American musical stage. An extensive bibliography and indexes of names, songs, and subjects complete the work. 650 0 Musical theater |zUnited States |vDictionaries. |=^A271216 650 0 African Americans |vMusic |vDictionaries. |=^A489288 650 0 African Americans in the performing arts |vDictionaries. |=^A90147 590 Little-282127--3051300398571 590 Little-284464--305130049144Y 590 Little-287278--305130049145Z 590 Little-282127--3051300398571 590 Little-284464--305130049144Y 590 Little-287278--305130049145Z 596 3 998 1708698
