The memories of the show's birth in 1975, not to mention those of its 15-year-life and poignant death, remain incandescent - and not just because nothing so exciting has happened to the American musical since. For a generation of theater people and theatergoers, A Chorus Line was and is the touchstone that defines the glittering promise, more often realized in lengend than in reality, of the Broadway way. This impressive book contains the complete book and lyrics of one of the longest running shows in Broadway history with a preface by Samuel Freedman, an introduction by Frank Rich and lots of photos from the stage production.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50464424296721,"sku":"CIN1557831319G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50764329779473,"sku":"CIN1557831319VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1557831319.jpg?v=1750798576"},{"product_id":"fantasticks-book-tom-jones-9781557830746","title":"The Fantasticks","description":"\"Richly illustrated, it is ideal for fans of the show, as well as admirers of musical theatre.\" -Variety \"Anybody who has seen the show (who hasn't?) should read the book\" -Entertainment Today \"The perfect present for any Fantasticks fans.\" -Cleveland Plain Dealer \"A valuable resource.

(Oliver James, Contact Magazine) A novel and comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument. 430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble repertoire ofBach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes, concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the Enjoy the Recorder series.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51423001641233,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423002951953,"sku":"CIN1557830630G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1557830630.jpg?v=1751407030"},{"product_id":"sweeney-todd-book-stephen-sondheim-9781557830654","title":"Sweeney Todd","description":"(Applause Books).
