註釋An eight part series celebrating the musical. 1) Stories with songs: Sian Phillips asks why so few musicals have an original story. 2) Drawn from life: Daniel Evans considers the musicals that have been based on the life stories of real people, for example Gypsy and The King and I. 3) Breaking the mould: Michael Ball considers musicals that have dared to be different, including Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats, Chicago and Oklahoma! 4) Pushing the boundaries: Bill Kenwright examines shows which deal with 'taboo' subjects, such as Oh, What a Lovely War!, La Cage Aux Folles and Avenue Q. 5) Something borrowed: Whoopi Goldberg looks at shows inspired by plays and films including Sunset Boulevard, West Side Story and Nine. 6) From page to stage: Sheila Hancock looks at shows based on great novels including Oliver!, Les Miserables, and Guys and Dolls. 7) We're in the money: Julia McKenzie examines the business of how Broadway sells musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King and 42nd Street. 8) Back to the future: Ramin Karimloo assesses the present health of Broadway and London's West End, with a look at Mamma Mia! and We Will Rock You.
