Recenzje

In this remarkable, groundbreaking book, David Savran takes us on a fascinating journey to South Korea and Germany, where local theatre artists are reinventing the Broadway-style musical. Savran invites us to experience many musicals with him, and we benefit from his curiosity, passion, and erudition, his insider/outsider knowledge of the cultures, his brilliant analyses of musicals past and present, and his extraordinary talent for evoking performance in words. An essential and paradigm-changing book.
