More DescriptionThe book examines in specific detail every Broadway musical which opened during the seminal decade of the 1960s, a decade which encompassed traditional musicals (such as Hello, Dolly!) as well as iconoclastic ones (Hair).

The technical information includes details regarding cast and credits, plot, critical reviews, London productions, recordings, published scripts, and film versions.
