I musical di Broadway

Jack Viertel, the artistic director of New York City Center Encores!, has signed a deal with Farrar, Straus & Giroux to write a book about the structure and inner workings of Broadway musicals and why some shows succeed and others falter, the publisher and Mr. Viertel said this week. The book, tentatively titled: “The Secret Life of the Broadway Musical: How Broadway Shows are Built,” is scheduled for publication in winter 2016.
Mr. Viertel, whose Encores! series has become a popular staple of New York theater, featuring rarely heard works by major composers and lyricists backed by sizable orchestras and Broadway-caliber casts, said he will draw on years of classes he has taught to musical theater students at New York University. nyt.
