Hischak, Thomas S.2024
Books
What links the popular songs 'You'll Never Walk Alone', 'Send in the Clowns', 'Memory' and 'I Am What I Am'? They all originated in Broadway musicals. Song of the Season is for those who believe that the score is at the heart of a musical and is the essential building block on which the rest of a show is built. Through a systematic historical survey from 1891 to 2023 it argues that the best musicals survive because of their songs, from early 20th century classics such as Show Boat and Oklahoma! through to the contemporary sound of Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton.
