Wicked - Piano/Vocal Arrangement

Stephen Schwartz

Hal Leonard, 2004

complete songbook, intermediate arrangements
This was a complete compilation of WICKED songs. The arrangements are for intermediate pianists. The melody line is simple and easy to follow. Good quality paper used and photos make it extra fun. I wish it was spiral-bound.

Ingenious
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare is an ingenious play. It is spontaneous and hilarious! If you're into Shakespeare, you'll love it. If you don't care for him because he was the reason you failed high school English, you'll still love this play!

Anthony Rapp

Simon & Schuster, 2006

surprised me
There are things that I didn't expect, that surprised me a little bit about his character, but if anything, seeing Anthony come through all of these situations only upped my respect for him as an actor, as a writer, and as a person.

September Publishing, 1999

An Actor's Black Book...
I started reading this book thinking I could jot down a couple useful pieces of information and quickly advance to another book on acting. Boy was I wrong! This book is overflowing with so many sources that you may as well toss out the Yellowpages. Judy Kerr did a flawless job of providing step-by-step instructions regarding the business-side of acting and how you can get started. Sure, ...

With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa

E.B. Sledge

Presidio Press, 2007

The best on WW2 overall.
There are so many reasons to pan a book like this, writting, viewpoint, historical accuracy, but this book gets 5 stars in all catagories. So true, so full of action, so sad, so much to say. My true interest lies on the Eastern Front between Germany and Russia, but this was so good it is my favorite of WW2 in spite of the subject matter. Wow.

Childish Things

Brian Naranjo

BookSurge Publishing, 2006

The best first novel I've ever read
Simply put, I think this is the best first novel I've ever read. I don't know just how autobiographical the book is, but it certainly matches what I and a lot of men went through at one time in our young lives. Even though Mr. Naranjo is young enough to be my kid, I had the same feelings, the same thoughts, the same fears. It's a coming of age story. Specifically it's the story of a young ...

L a Theatre Works, 1998

The funniest series in the world.
Believe it or not, I am 74 years old and had never read about the trials and tribulations Jeeves put up with Bertie Wooster. I have never laughed so much in my life. I am now going to get my hands on every word P.G. Wodehouse ever wrote. I truly would have loved to meet the man.

A MUST HAVE TO REMEMBER RENT
I have been so fortunate to have known this show for twelve years. Now that it has ended, I will have my memories of seeing the show as well as this amazing book. I own two copies of the book and have read it front to back. Thank you Jonathan Larson and thank you to all that have made this show the great piece of musical theatre that it is. I will miss the show, but this book will stay with me ...

Gauls Getafix
Asterix lives in the Gaulish part of the Roman Empire. Doesn't he? Not quite, his village resists the Romans thanks to a magic potion. The Romans want some of this potion for themselves... "Asterix the Gaul" was the first Asterix comic, published in 1961. Rene Goscinny made the words and Albert Udzero did the pictures. It's a pretty good way to start the series though the sequel "Asterix and ...

Whether you are a theatre novice or Broadway veteran, this ambitous work is insightful, educational and fun. On some nights, the theatre life is full of passion and wonder.

Thomas Schumacher

Disney Editions, 2008

Useful for all ages
As a high school musical theater teacher, I wasn't sure that I'd be able to use this resource. All of the material presented is related to the Disney musicals that started in the 1990s. It turns out, this actually makes the material familiar to virtually all students. The book is well organized, and offers dozens of "behind the scenes" artifacts that students will enjoy. My students have ...

Great book. Great fun!
This is a very well researched and well written book. All of Tom Wheeler's guitar and amp books are terrific. I also have the companion Fender Amp book which is a "must have" for enthusiasts and collectors.

Blockbuster Plots: Pure & Simple

Martha Alderson

Illusion Press, 2005

No plot is a BIG problem
Any artist worth their salt has to have a solid working understanding of the rules of their craft. A painter has to know about brushes, colors, shapes, lines and light. An oboe player has to know how to cut a reed in addition to learning to read music and play with others in the orchestra. For some reason, though, writers seem to start out thinking they don't need to know anything more than how ...

Unspeakable ShaXXXspeares, Revised Edition: Queer Theory and American Kiddie Culture

Richard Burt

Palgrave Macmillan, 1999

On the Money
Whatever you think about Shakespeare, it is impossible not to agree with the points Burt makes in this book. His analysis is right on the money and you will never be able to look at Shakespearean movies or literature in the same way. A fantastic book and a must read.

Getting Signed!: An Insider's Guide to the Record Industry (Berklee Press)

27 reviews
George Howard

Berklee Press, 2003

Must have for anyone who is or wants to be a part of the music business
There are many things I like about this book, but what I like best is that it's honest. Unlike many other books, it doesn't promise you the world, and a successful career overnight, but instead gives you an inside look at the music industry and guides you on how to make things happen for yourself. The language is conversational, and the author has a great sense of humour. It simplifies ...

Amadeus (Penguin Plays)

33 reviews
Peter Shaffer

Penguin Books, 1999

Well, then, there it is...
Like a newspaper article, theatre has to convey its story with an economy of words. In this way, great playwriting is a rare skill much like land the penny toss at the carnival and Shaffer is that rare playwriter who accomplishes his task so seemingly effortlessly. Deftly, Shaffer tosses his Amadeus and Saliere together and in so doing plays each against their type rendering his Amadeus ...
