Description
A look at how the world of musical theater and gay culture intertwine, from the attraction of Ethel Merman to the homophobia of Rogers and Hammerstein
Description
"In Something for the Boys, John Clum gives the reader a thoughtful and entertaining tour through a world of divas and brassy overtures. Looking at the allure of Merman and Carol Channing, the lives of Noel Coward, Cole Porter, and Lorenz Hart, the homophobia of Rodgers and Hammerstein, and the mixed musical signals of Stephen Sondheim, Clum shows a world larger than life, a world where life is fabulous."--BOOK JACKET.
