Summary
This text explores the symbiotic relationship between a dozen Broadway musicals and their Hollywood film adaptations, including some of the best loved, most admired, and most enduring works in their respective genres. Beginning with the stage version of Show Boat and ending with Bob Fosse's cinematic re-envisioning of Cabaret, Geoffrey Block explores twelve stage shows and their film adaptations spanning nearly a half century (1927-1972).
