In this book, Bernardo Fonseca Machado examines the transnationalization of American Broadway and the resulting cultural exchanges between New York and São Paulo at the turn of the twenty-first century. Machado combines ethnography and history to track the complexities of discourses, imaginaries, and economic interests within the flow of musical people, capital, practices, pedagogies, and shows between these two cities.

Reviews

In this lively and fascinating book, Bernardo Fonseca Machado takes readers from New York City to São Paulo, from theatre training schools to audition rooms to explore the interchange between US Broadway musicals and Brazilian theatre culture. Using a range of historical, archival, critical, and ethnographic methods, Machado paints a nuanced and complex picture of the lives of Brazilian students, professors, performers, and directors living in the United States. This book is an important, illuminating, and original addition to the field of global musical theatre studies. -- Stacy E. Wolf, Princeton University
