So you're the new musical director!

the long version

"So You're the New Musical Director! is aimed at the person who has music training but little or no experience with musical theater, the high school choral director with a degree in music education, or the actor participating in community theater productions. It details the duties involved in directing a broadway musical, including overseeing singer and orchestra rehearsals and conducting the musical itself. The chapters follow the actual progression of musical theater, from a discussion of the production team's responsibilities to the final bow. Filled with photos, illustrations, and examples, So You're the New Musical Director! is a comprehensive guide that no one involved in musical theater should be without."--BOOK JACKET.
