{"product_id":"9781472514578","title":"Actor-Musicianship","description":"Actor-musicianship is a permanent feature of the musical theatre landscape. Actor-musician shows can be seen from Bradford to Broadway, from village halls to international arena tours. However, with the exception of a couple of academic papers, there has been nothing written about this fascinating area of theatre practice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeremy Harrison's book\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eaddresses this deficit, operating as both a record of the development of the actor-musician movement and as a practical guide for students, educators, performers and practitioners. It explores the history of actor-musicianship, examining its origins, as well as investigating – and offering guidance on – how this specialist form of music theatre is created. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt, in turn, acts as a means of defining an art form that has to date been left to lurk in the shadows of musical theatre; a subset with its own distinctive culture of performer, maker and audience, but as yet no formal recognition as a specialism in its own right. The actor-musician show is multifarious and as such this book targets those interested in mainstream commercial work, as well as alternative and avant-garde theatre practice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book draws together expertise from a range of disciplines with contributions from many of the leading figures in this field, including performers, directors, teachers, MDs, producers and writers. It also features a foreword by theatre director John Doyle.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135759794416,"sku":"9781472514578","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472514578_p0.jpg?v=1763598227","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472514578","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
