He maintains the gossipy, opinionated pleasures of his musical theater history books. I missed some of the great hits. I'd have loved to have heard his thoughts onTake Me OutorA Strange Loop.But I also enjoyed learning about the plays of Mae West and forgotten artists like Julian Eltinge and Eva Le Gallienne. I love how it dives into different decades of LGBTQ plays, and I'd also be interested in learning more about Mae West's plays. Speaking of reading, I recently had to write an essay for this book in college and found some interesting tools. I was looking for a good resource and at EduBirdie they answered quite quickly and helped me a lot. This made the process much easier. But back to the book: Take Me Out and A Strange Loop are such big deals, it's a wonder they haven't been mentioned. I'd love to hear Morden's thoughts on them too!
Has anyone else here read this?
