Beschreibung
Shakespeare as Jukebox Musical is the first book-length study of a growing performance phenomenon: musical adaptations of Shakespeare's plays in which characters sing existing popular songs as one of their modes of communication. John Severn shows how these highly allusive works give rise to the pleasures of collaborative reception, and also lend themselves to political work, particularly in terms of identity politics and a valorisation of diversity. Case studies from the USA, the UK and Australia demonstrate how these works open new windows on Shakespeare's plays and their performance traditions, on the wider jukebox musical trend, and on adaptation as an art form.
