Strike Up the Band: A New History of Musical Theatre
"Obviously well-versed on his subject (he's written about musical theatre before). . . Miller does look decade by decade at the musical with insight and frequently with broad knowledge of the story behind a particular show." --Backstage"Miller has been writing, performing in, and directing musicals since 1981 - clearly, this is a man who lives, eats and breathes musicals. You can feel his excitement from the first page of the introductory chapter." --TalkinBroadway.com"Densely packed and immensely well-informed . . . Miller's tone is collegial, his analysis at times deceptively acute, and his material obviously well informed by research and experience. The enthusiasm with which Miller expresses his own love for musical theatre is infectious." -- Ben Macpherson, Studies in Musical Theatre
