Television Musicals : Plots, Critiques, Casts and Credits for 200 Shows Written for and Presented on Television

In this work, 222 musicals developed specifically for television are fully detailed, including musical episodes from nonmusical shows, animated specials that appealed to adults as well as children, and operas and related works commissioned for the small screen.

Each entry provides air date, network, running time, cast and credits, and a listing of all the songs.

A plot synopsis follows these data, focusing on the show itself and the story from which it was adapted; information on award nominations and awards won, recordings, videos, and published music is then provided.

Contemporary reviews of the show complete the entry.
