It is the story of the embrace of risk and substance. In so doing, Chris Jones makes the point that the theatre thrived by finally figuring out how to embrace the bold statement and insert itself into the national conversation--only to find out in 2016 that a hefty sector of the American public had not been listening to what it had to say. Chris Jones was in the theatres when and where it mattered. He takes readers from the moment when Tony Kushner's angel crashed (quite literally) through the ceiling of prejudice and religious intolerance to the triumph of Hamilton, with the coda of the Broadway cast addressing a new Republican vice-president from the stage. That complex performance - at once indicative of the theatre's new clout and its inability to fully change American society for the better--is the final scene of the book"-- |cAmazon.com summary. 650 0 Theater |zNew York (State) |zNew York |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A377319 650 0 Theater |zNew York (State) |zNew York |xHistory |y21st century. |=^A1019755 650 0 Theater and society |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A1019721 650 0 Theater and society |zUnited States |xHistory |y21st century. |=^A1019721 651 0 Broadway (New York, N.Y.) |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A339929 651 0 Broadway (New York, N.Y.) |xHistory |y21st century. |=^A339929 650 7 Theater. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01149217 650 7 Theater and society. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01149315 651 7 New York (State) |zNew York. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204333 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 New York (State) |zNew York |zBroadway. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01316843 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1900-2099 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iebook version : |z9781350071940 938 Brodart |bBROD |n121678881 949 PN2277.N5 J66 2019 |hJOYNER48 |ojssb |i30372017380533 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 5307827
