	Musical theater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The musical components of a musical are generally referred to as the score, with sung lines considered the lyrics and the spoken lines the book, or occasionally the libretto (a term also frequently applied to text of an opera, it incorporates the words of both dialogue and lyric).
		The musical developed from opera and operetta, but early musicals in the Roaring Twenties ignored plot in favor of emphasizing star actors and actresses, big dance routines, and popular songs (throughout the first half of the twentieth century, popular music was dominated by theater writers).
		The book was adapted by Arthur Laurents, with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by newcomer Stephen Sondheim.

	CurtainUp Book Review: Making Musicals
		Jones' intention for the book, as it was for the lectures, is to provide " a general introduction to the world of musical theater, with a little autobiography and general "schmoozing" thrown in for good measure." He fulfills his goal admirably and entertainingly and in a sensibly arranged format.
		While the book would ideally also be available as a CD-Rom with the text illustrated with hyper-linked songs and illustrations from at least some of the shows described Jones has come as close as possible to replicating his easy-listening charm and clarity of vision on the printed page.
		The audience he addresses is the layman musical theater buff interested in the behind-the-scenes workings of musical theater as well as those interested in going a step further and actually trying to write for the musical theater.
