For the first time ever, the published songs from every composer in all Broadway shows, 1918 through 1993, are listed in a single reference work. Each of the over 2,500 entries includes the show's title, the year the show opened, a listing of all songs in the production with composers and lyricists, and the show's leading players.

At long last Stubblebine, an avid sheet music collector, follows up his excellent Cinema Sheet Music (McFarland, 1991) with this counterpart on American theater music. Covering 75 years, the book lists thousands of individual published songs from 2562 Broadway shows by all variety of composers, great and small. Each cover design is described, and the original song publisher noted. Although Stubblebine provides no publishers' addresses, he does give the addresses of four national collecting groups. Concluding song title and lyricist/composer indexes are welcome and useful additions. This unique, inexpensive resource complements Ken Bloom's expansive American Song (Prentice-Hall, 1995. 2d ed.) and will find a place in both music and theater collections. Highly recommended for academic and public libraries.
