The opportunity to synchronize moving pictures with a soundtrack suited the musical in particular, since the heightened experience of song and dance drew attention to the novelty of the technological development. Until the near-collapse of the genre in the 1960s, the film musical enjoyed around thirty years of development, as landmarks such as \u003cem\u003eThe Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, Singin' in the Rain\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eGigi\u003c\/em\u003e showed the exciting possibilities of putting musicals on the silver screen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe final of three volumes, \u003cem\u003eStars, Studios, and the Musical Theatre Screen Adaptation: An Oxford Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e traces how stardom and technology has affected the evolution of the genre of the stage-to-screen musical. Many chapters examine specific screen adaptations in depth, with case studies on the screen versions of Broadway favorites \u003cem\u003eCarousel\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBrigadoon\u003c\/em\u003e, while others deal with broad issues such as how music rights affected how studios approached screen adaptations. Together, the chapters incite lively debates about the process of adapting Broadway for the big screen and provide models for future studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolume I: The Politics of the Musical Theatre Screen Adaptation\u003cbr\u003eVolume II: Race, Sexuality, and Gender and the Musical Screen Adaptation\u003cbr\u003eVolume III: Stars, Studios, and the Musical Theatre Screen Adaptation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominic Broomfield-McHugh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.55w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197663257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDominic Broomfield-McHugh\u003c\/strong\u003e is Reader in Musicology at the University of Sheffield.
