Book Review: The Complete Book of 1990s Broadway Musicals by Dan Dietz
Author: Dan Dietz
Title: The Complete Book of 1990s Broadway Musicals
Other Books Read by the Same Author:- The Complete Book of 1930s Broadway Musicals
- The Complete Book of 1940s Broadway Musicals
- The Complete Book of 1950s Broadway Musicals
- The Complete Book of 1960s Broadway Musicals
- The Complete Book of 1970s Broadway Musicals
- The Compete Book of 1980s Broadway Musicals
Publication Info: Rowman & Littlefield (2016)
Summary/Review:The 1990s feels like a transitional decade for Broadway. On the one hand, after a couple of decades of financial decline, the Broadway theater district felt thriving and viable again. On the other hand, many critics – including author Dan Dietz – saw the decade as the Disnification of Broadway.
Disney introduced only two musicals during the decade – adaptations of Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King – but the overall effect is that family-friendly megamusicals that attracted tourists edged out shows intended for grown-up audiences and local theater buffs. Revivals of books musicals continued to outnumber new productions, including Chicago, which became more successful than its original run and still plays to this day. Speaking of long running shows, any new production on Broadway had to compete with hits like Cats, Les Miserables, and Phantom of the Opera which occupied theaters throughout the decade.
The decade also saw an increase in adapting relatively recent movies as musicals including My Favorite Year, The Goodbye Girl, Big, Victor/Victoria, and Footloose. There were also a number of revues of songs by Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondhem, Johnny Burke, Johnny Mercer, George and Ira Gershwin and blues and swing by Black artists. This trend presaged the 2000s when movie adaptations and/or jukebox musical rely on reiterating the familiar and nostalgic at the expense of the new. Nevertheless, several memorable musicals made their debut in the 1990s including: Once on This Island, The Secret Garden, The Will Rogers Follies, Crazy for You, Falsettos, Jelly’s Last Jam, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Passion, Smokey Joe’s Cafe, Sunset Boulevard, Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk, Titanic, Ragtime, Fosse, and Parade. Dan Dietz, who grows crankier with each volume of this series, disliked most of these shows, and trashed Rent and Ragtime (two shows I love). Dietz’s obvious prejudices which manifest themselves in his rents against “political correctness” make this unpleasant read. But I do still enjoy that he’s gathered together so many facts about each show in one place that are hard to find anywhere else.

" Record number of #FossilFuel #lobbyists get access to #Cop28 #climate talks
UAE-hosted summit admitted at least 2,456 people affiliated with #oil and #gas industries, analysis finds ... The figure calculated by the Kick Big Polluters Out (KBPO) coalition is a record number that raises further questions about the fossil fuel industry’s influence over this year’s #UN summit, which is being run by the president of the United Arab Emirates’ national oil company.
The scale of oil and gas influence in Dubai is unprecedented, with almost four times as many industry-affiliated lobbyists than the number registered for #Cop27 in Sharm el-Sheikh – which itself was a record year.
#Lobbyists vying to push the interests of oil and gas companies such as #Shell, #Total and #ExxonMobil outnumber every country delegation apart from #Brazil (3,081), which is expected to run Cop30 in 2025, and the host country, which registered 4,409 attenders.
Fossil fuel lobbyists also outnumber official #Indigenous representatives (316) by seven to one – another sign, say campaigners, that oil and gas industry profits are being prioritised over a sustainable planet and frontline communities."

I am currently living a real life romance trope, I just can’t find what this trope is. For weeks now, my neighbor and I have been exchanging text files on a flash drive rather than emails, because our inboxes are flooded and a lot of people have asked us, why not just exchange email addresses, but there is something revolutionary anticipatory about receiving a knock on my door, a flash drive tucked into a bag, with some kind of fruit, shampoo, or cookie or something the other might need. What really makes my heart swoon is these aren’t short letters either, they’re lengthy! Of course we talk to each other and we see each other often around the complex, but we don’t have enough time to converse the way we write to each other. #PenPal #PenPals
