Abstract

"Fixing the Musical: How Technologies Shaped the Broadway Repertory" by Douglas R. Reside delves into the impact of various technologies on the development and performance of musical theatre. Reside argues that technologies like cheap printing, photography, and recording tools influenced which musicals were chosen to be performed and how their meanings became fixed over time. Through detailed analysis and engaging storytelling, Reside traces the evolution of technologies in musical theatre and their effects on audience engagement and performance styles, ultimately providing a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between technology and the art of musical theatre."
