Description:
Discover John Kander and Fred Ebb, the most artistically and commercially successful musical theatre writing team since Rodgers and Hammerstein, in a brand new way.
Identifying the theatrical approach that renders their musical dramaturgy unique, this book explores their importance within, and contribution to, musical theatre history. Through their biggest hits, Cabaret (1966) and Chicago (1975), Kander and Ebb have been performed on the stage more times both within and outside of the USA than any other American musical theatre writers. Unlike Sondheim, whose work from 1964 increasingly aspired towards the avant-garde, Kander and Ebb located their projects in a nexus between art and commercial entertainment, seeking to deconstruct popular forms in order to expose their ideological function.
This book investigates the full range of Kander and Ebb's collaboration from the pure comic entertainment of 70, Girls, 70 (1971) and Curtains (2006) to more overtly serious musicals such as Kiss of the Spiderwoman (1992), The Scottsboro Boys (2010) and The Visit (2014), which were less commercially successful precisely because they addressed disturbing subjects. It explores how the difficult material inspired beautiful, though challenging, scores. It also probes how the ironic counterpointing of luscious music with witty and demotic lyrics challenges the desire of a Broadway audience for escapist entertainment, devoid of critical self-reflection, in order to create complex, yet popular, masterpieces of the genre.
This is the first volume to explicitly analyse the recurrent t

You get what you pay for. Won't order again.
Color: Birch, Size: 1/2"x 100ft, Color: Birch, Size: 1/2"x 100ft
Inconsistent width, and soft glue. The veneer is so thin you can see the plywood layers under it in places. The 1/2" width varies from 0.55" to 0.45" and was too narrow to cover the edge of my 0.46" plywood in spots. Even when fully cooled (left some pieces overnight before trimming) the glue is soft and tacky, and loads up on the edge banding trimmer blade.
I was able to cover all my pieces, so I still gave it 3 stars. But I won't order it again. It's not worth the couple of dollars I saved.
I also ordered a roll of 3/4 and threw it away. Same issues, and the color was way too light (looked more like raw maple than birch)

Nice for cable management
Real metal so it is very sturdy and if you tighten your screw it will be very stable too. I out it next to my monitor mount which provide a nice setup for cable management. It fits perfectly to a VESA 100x100 mount. I have a similar setup in my office but under the desk which makes it versatile.
