Though Willson is best remembered for <em>The Music Man</em>, there is a great deal more to his career as a composer and lyricist. In <em>The Big Parade</em>, author Dominic McHugh uses newly uncovered letters, manuscripts, and production files to reveal Willsons unusual combination of experiences in his pre-Broadway career that led him to compose <em>The Music Man</em> at the age of 55. McHugh also gives an in depth look at the reception of <em>The Music Man</em> and examines the strengths and weaknesses of Willsons other three musicals, with his sustained commitment to innovation and novelty. <em>The Big Parade</em> is packed with new revelations about the processes involved in writing these works, as well as the trials and tribulations of working in the commercial theatre.</p>...1170235The Big Parade374394https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-big-parade-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1221945/d791a9e7-556d-44a0-88a9-604f3d2c400a.jpg?v=638337645330700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219780197554753_W3siaWQiOiI2NzQ3ZjBlMC00MWMxLTQ3YWMtODA2ZS1kYWQwMTFkMWNiOWUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ4MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjI0LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjQ1NiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMjhUMTE6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780197554753_<p>In the 1950s, Meredith Willsons <em>The Music Man</em> became the third longest running musical after <em>My Fair Lady</em> and <em>The Sound of Music</em>: a considerable achievement in a decade that saw the premieres of other popular works by Rodgers and Hammerstein and Lerner and Loewe, not to mention Frank Loessers <em>Guys and Dolls</em> and Bernstein and Sondheims <em>West Side Story</em>. <em>The Music Man</em> remains a popular choice for productions and has been parodied or quoted on television shows ranging from <em>Family Guy</em> to <em>Grace and Frankie</em>.
