Complete libretto to the 1866 musical extravaganza. A phenomenon of the 19th Century, "The Black Crook" was the Broadway blockbuster musical of its day. With its suggestive story of wickedness, its chorus of scantily clad chorus girls, and its breathtaking scenic efforts it was, as The New York Times claimed, "decidedly the event of this spectacular age." Considered the first "book musical" because it supposedly interrogated music and dialogue into a unified story, its creation has become the basis that America invited musical theatre. After it opened in September of 1866 at the 3,200-seat Niblo's Garden on Broadway, the musical ran for a record-breaking 475 performances, toured throughout the United States and England, was revived numerous times, and copied by other musicals for the next three decades.

Perhaps the first American musical, this wild extravaganza of fairies, sorcerers, and evil counts lusting after innocent village maidens was a five-hour sensation when first produced in 1866. In an edition prepared from a prompter's book, this version of THE BLACK CROOK contains not only the working script but an essay of the play's dramatic conception.

This is the most comprehensive and insightful reference available on Broadway theater as an American cultural phenomenon and an illuminator of American life. Broadway: An Encyclopedia of Theater and American Culture is the first major reference work to explore just how much the "Great White Way" illuminates our national character. In two volumes spanning the era from the mid-19th century to the present, it offers nearly 200 entries on a variety of topics, including spotlights on 30 landmark productions—from Shuffle Along to Oklahoma! to Oh Calcutta! to The Producers—that not only changed American theater but American culture as well. In addition, Broadway offers thirty extended thematic essays gauging the powerful impact of theater on American life, with entries on race relations, women in society, sexuality, film, media, technology, tourism, and off-Broadway and noncommercial theater. There are also 110 profile entries on key persons and institutions—from the famous to the infamous to the all but forgotten—whose unique careers and contributions impacted Broadway and its place in the American landscape.

Anna Pavlova's revolutionary debut in 1910 at the Metropolitan Opera House captivated the nation and introduced Americans to the charms of modern ballet. Willa Cather was among the first intellectuals to recognize that dance had suddenly been elevated into a new art form, and she quickly trained herself to become one of the leading balletomanes of her era. Willa Cather and the Dance: "A Most Satisfying Elegance" traces the writer's dance education, starting with the ten-page explication she wrote in 1913 for McClure's magazine called "Training for the Ballet." Cather's interest was sustained through her entire canon as she utilized characters, scenes, and images from almost all of the important dance productions that played in New York.
