Summary
"Designed as a concise and contemporary introduction to the topic of racial representation in American musical theatre production, engaging students and general readers with questions regarding how race has affected both the development and the continued popularity of American musical theatre production. In doing so, it highlights the difficulties that Black, Indigenous, and other theatre artists of color continue to face in commercial musical theatre production as well as the ways that they have challenged white dominance over the American musical stage"-- Provided by publisher.
