"...the musicals we most remember are those which most effectively used their era's best recording and distribution technologies to document and share the work with those who would never see the original production on Broadway." @dougreside https://t.co/6MfhuCjdFJ

[Doug Reside @dougreside]

Book drop day! My book, Fixing the Musical (about the technologies that shaped what we think of when we think of musicals) is out as an eBook. Paper to come in the next week or two: https://t.co/W8CBcEcN2A
