| Abstract | This one-volume reference book gives both technical data (who was producer, director, etc.) as well as insider information (who turned down the lead and so on). It is current up until the beginning of the 80s but by then, only one or two musicals a year were coming out of Hollywood. Large coffee table book and lavishly illustrated. |
