The chapters follow the actual progression of musical theater, from a discussion of the production team's responsibilities to the final bow. Filled with photos, illustrations, and examples, So You're the New Musical Director! is a comprehensive guide that no one involved in musical theater should be without."--BOOK JACKET.
