ÊEver AfterÊ is more than a detailed show-by-show history of the last quarter century in American musical theater. It explains how the storied Broadway tradition in many cases went so very wrong. Singer takes the reader behind the scenes for an unparalleled look at ÊA Chorus LineÊ's final bow the creation of ÊRentÊ the real people behind Disney's uber-musicals and even an afternoon with Andrew Lloyd Webber.ÞÊEver AfterÊ also celebrates the promise of the next generation of young musical theater artists especially Adam Guettel Michael John LaChiusa Ricky Ian Gordon and Jason Robert Brown addressing not only their work to date but their future projects.ÞThere is no other book currently available that covers this period and subject. Through his work for ÊThe New York TimesÊ Singer has interviewed virtually everyone of significance. They are all here very much speaking for themselves. ÊEver AfterÊ is both anecdotal and analytical featuring personality profiles of important creative figures from Jule Styne to Stephen Sondheim to Jonathan Larson while critically evaluating all of the many musicals produced during the past 25 years.ÞSure to generate debate this is a book written not only for the musical theater aficionado but for anyone who has seen a Broadway musical or has just enjoyed the movie version of ÊChicagoÊ and is curious to know more.
