Pulitzer Prize-Winning Musicals

Of Thee I Sing to A Strange Loop

About this book

What is the tie that binds a show like the Gershwin Brothers' Of Thee I Sing to Michael R. Jackson's A
Strange Loop?

Did you know that the Pulitzer Prize for Drama has been awarded to just ten musicals since the award's inception in 1917?

Why have certain musicals captured the imagination and hearts of the Pulitzer Prize committee?

Pulitzer Prize-Winning Musicals takes a chronological look at the ten musicals that have won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Deep diving into the development of each show, this accessible study unpacks the creation, production,
and reception of each musical.

Each chapter traces a different Prize-winning show from its inception to its opening night. It introduces the reader to each musical's key creators and company members and places them in the larger context of Broadway history.

Published in Methuen Drama's Essential Musicals series, this book is perfect for students of Musical Theatre, drawing together different resources to dig into the backstories of Broadway's biggest hits and mining the historical record for nuggets of information that illuminate our understanding and enhance our enjoyment of musical theatre's unique brand of magic.
