The opportunity to synchronize moving pictures with a soundtrack suited the musical in particular, since the heightened experience of song and dance drew attention to the novelty of the technological development. Until the near-collapse of the genre in the 1960s, the film musical enjoyed around thirty years of development, as landmarks such as T\u003cem\u003ehe Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, Singin' in the Rain, \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Gigi\u003c\/em\u003e showed the exciting possibilities of putting musicals on the silver screen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first of three volumes, \u003cem\u003e The Politics of the Musical Theatre Screen Adaptation: An Oxford Handbook \u003c\/em\u003etraces how the genre of the stage-to-screen musical has evolved, starting with early screen adaptations such as the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie Roberta and working through to \u003cem\u003eInto the Woods\u003c\/em\u003e (2014). Many chapters examine specific screen adaptations in depth, while others deal with broad issues such as realism or the politics of the adaptation in works such as \u003cem\u003eLi'l Abner\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFinian's Rainbow\u003c\/em\u003e. Together, the chapters incite lively debates about the process of adapting Broadway for the big screen and provide models for future studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolume I: The Politics of the Musical Theatre Screen Adaptation\u003cbr\u003eVolume II: Race, Sexuality, and Gender and the Musical Screen Adaptation\u003cbr\u003eVolume III: Stars, Studios, and the Musical Theatre Screen Adaptation\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDominic Broomfield-McHugh\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Musicology at the University of Sheffield.
