Suggested Web Videos
Edited by John Kenrick

Musical Theatre: A HistoryThese videos are suggested accompaniments to my book Musical Theatre A History (2nd Edition 2017). Because videos posted on the web come and go without notice, I apologize for any links here that may suddenly lead nowhere. Please let me know if you encounter any problems and I will update the page.

These pages are under construction and will be completed by the first week in October 2017. Thanks for your patience!
