Race, Sexuality, and Gender and the Musical Screen Adaptation

An Oxford Handbook of Musical Theatre Screen Adaptations, Volume 2
Herausgeber: Broomfield-McHugh, Dominic

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The second of three volumes, Race, Sexuality, and Gender and the Musical Screen Adaptation: An Oxford Handbook, traces how the genre of the stage-to-screen musical has evolved, focusing in particular of issues of race, gender and sexuality. Enduringly popular adaptations such as Kiss Me Kate and Pal Joey are considered through the lens of identity, while several chapters consider how different adaptations of the same stage musical reflect shifting historical contexts. Together, the chapters incite lively debates about the process of adapting Broadway for the big screen and provide models for future studies.
