Arranged in an A-Z format, Broadway: An Encyclopedia is the fan and scholar's ideal resource to producers, writers, composers, lyricists, set designers, theaters, performers, shows, and landmarks. Lavishly illustrated, cross-referenced, indexed, and with a full bibliography, this work provides a comprehensive and easily navigable history of Broadway that is as thorough as it is engrossing. No other reference work on Broadway includes coverage as vast or as comprehensive. Including dozens of new photos, coverage extending from Broadway's beginnings to the new millennium, a full revision of entries from the first edition, and now entries on the most noteworthy productions and shows, this new edition of Ken Bloom's classic encyclopedia is the single best guide to Broadway available anywhere.

Industry Reviews

'Bloom adds a touch of atmosphere with entries on critics, restaurants, publicity stunts, nightclubs, and other periphery characters and incidents that are so much a part of the Great White Way. As much a storyteller as a chronicler, he uses anecdotes and a plethora of black-and-white photographs, many never before published, to produce and entertaining as well as an informative work. Highly recommended for all theater collections.' - Library Journal

'Recommended. All academic and public library theater and cultural studies collections.' - Choice
