Product Description English:
From time immemorial New York City's Broadway has been loved, honored, appreciated...criticized, pronounced dead and avoided. Reasons for those diverse levels of meaning ground in the changes of the Stage and the City itself in the course of time. The author Katja Moritz shows off political, sociocultural and financial backgrounds, whereby unfailingly new arts districts, cultural movements and theatrical shapes are created in New York City. Based on the historical urban development, she gives an insight into the dynamic theater-life of Broadway, Off Broadway and Off-Off Broadway and describes changes, differences and similarities. Because of her stays in New York City, the author is proficient to uniquely and versatilely illustrate the Stage of New York. The book is highly recommended for all people who are interested in theater and arts, for New York-Lovers and Adepts and anybody who wants to plunge into that extraordinary and artistic world of the city that never sleeps.
