Book Reviews of Oh Joy! Oh Rapture!: The Enduring Phenomenon of Gilbert and Sullivan

Book Review: Gilbert and Sullivan Forever
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is for anyone and everyone who is already a G&S fan (as in fanatic). On the other hand, I expect that it would have limited if any appeal to someone with little interest in G&S. Strong in annecdotes and quotations, the author does not really make a good case for G&S's antecedant position in the development of modern musical theatre which might have given the book a wider audience.
