Brian Hall has created a remarkable resource in this SECOND EDITION OF THE PERFORMER'S GUIDE TO THEATER SONGS. He has given performers of all ages--either female or male--explicit reference information for over 700 of the best solos written for the musical theater stage. This book is an absolute necessity for those working in, teaching or studying the field of musical theater. For years performers, coaches & teachers have struggled to locate appropriate & sometimes obscure audition & performance materials. In this book, Brian Hall has brought together the most current, pertinent & helpful information in an intelligent, thorough & easily accessible format. The Profiles section allows the reader to locate a piece by title & learn such valuable information as use of the song for auditions or for out of the context of the show, key & lowest/highest pitches, arrangements, singing skills needed to interpret the song, recordings, videos, films & interpretations worth noting & much, much more. Three Indexes assist in locating solos by lyricists & composers, shows & singing skills. A fourth Index identifies the roles & songs by age range. The Glossary itself is a goldmine, providing the reader with extensive information & instruction on voice skills as well as other valuable information. "This Guide represents over two decades of work in musical theater by an outstanding artist & teacher. So thorough, useful & comprehensive is THE PERFORMER'S GUIDE TO THEATER SONGS that it is A MUST for anyone working in musical theater today!"--JOAN LAZARUS, Past President, American Alliance for Theatre & Education.
