Book Reviews of Titanic: The Complete Book of the Musical

Book Review: TITANIC sails once more . . .
Summary: 4 Stars

The book consists mostly of the script and lyrics of the show, but first the authors share their views on the subject matter at large, and quite interestingly to me, their particular artistic approach towards making an historic event palpable to each and every viewer sitting in a dark theatre. It is also interesting to note that at the back of the book is a complete listing of the names of the people who perished on the great "ship of dreams".

The book is quite generously illustrated with photos of the production. However, many of the photos are a bit marred by the presence of dust and hair particles on them. Surprisingly sloppy workmanship in that department. The layout and design of the book is quite nice, which only seems to accentuate this minor but consistent flaw.

All in all, if you are like me and yearn to know what goes on between all those songs you listen to on your original cast recordings, books such as this one are a God-send. I would recommend it to any fans of Titanic, Peter Stone or Maury Yeston.
