"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
There are some odd omissions. The entry for Cats, the longest-running show ever on Broadway, does not give opening and closing dates. There is an article on the history of burlesque, but not on the musical. There are no individual articles on people who some might say merit them (Elia Kazan, Bernadette Peters), though their names are indexed on many pages. There is no general history or time line of Broadway trends and events. A category index would have been useful to see headings for entries for theaters, composers, etc. at a glance.
Black-and-white photos and illustrations grace many of the entries, often replacing those in the first edition. It is clear that many articles have been revised to include more recent facts or productions. Some have been greatly expanded (e.g., Kaufman and Hart; Prince, Harold), and there are also new entries, such as those on individual critics. The biggest strength of this work for reference is found in the histories of the theaters themselves. Libraries with strong theater collections will want to add it. RBB
