精彩書評
"From A for Audition and Actor (not to mention Audience and Applause) to Z for Zing, this alphabet book for theater-lovers covers Broadway from onstage to backstage and out front. Like the theater district it pictures in a double-page spread for B, each page is busy, busy, busy! The informative text is presented in floating sidebars along with bold illustrations in poster-bright colors, cramming the pages with flat images outlined off-center, giving the whole a look of excitement and energy that is almost too much. Some letters (like C for Costumes and O for Orchestra) take up a two-page spread, which works well, but sometimes adjacent letters, like two posters hanging too close, clash dissonantly. (Kids can probably handle that!) Several, such as K for Kickline and L for Lightsharmonize, in color and line provide a little rest for the eye. Q and X are always a test for alphabet formats; this one passes neatly with Quick Change (princess to bunny in five seconds) and X for Cross as noted in prompt books to record blocking. A wealth of theatrical lore and plenty of fascinating details combined with clever illustrations will keep aficionados absorbed or make an exuberant follow-up for a first-time theatergoer. Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell provides a lively introduction and a Postscript in the form of a poem. To complete the package, readers will find a CD of Mitchell singing
I Was Here, adapted from a song in the musical,
The Glorious Ones."
