From the silver screen to the Great White Way, small community theatres to television sets, the musical has long held a special place in America's heart and history. Now, in The Oxford Companion to the American Musical, readers who flocked to the movies to see An American in Paris or Chicago, lined up for tickets to West Side Story or Rent, or crowded around their TVs to watch Cinderella or High School Musical can finally turn to a single book for details about them all. For the first time, this popular subject has an engaging and authoritative book as thrilling as the performances themselves.

With more than two thousand entries, this illustrated guide offers a wealth of information on musicals, performers, composers, lyricists, producers, choreographers, and much more. Biographical entries range from early stars Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Mary Martin, and Mae West to contemporary show-stoppers Nathan Lane, Savion Glover, and Kristin Chenoweth, while composers Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, and Andrew Lloyd Webber all have articles, and the choreography of Bob Fosse, Tommy Tune, and Debbie Allen receives due examination. The plays and films covered range from modern hits like Mamma Mia and Moulin Rouge to timeless classics such as Yankee Doodle Dandy and Show Boat. Also, numerous musicals written specifically for television appear throughout, and many entries follow a work-Babes in Toyland for example-as it moves across genres, from stage, to film, to television. The Companion also includes cross references, a comprehensive listing of recommended recordings and further reading, a useful chronology of all the musicals described in the book, plus a complete index of Tony Award and Academy Award winners.

Whether you are curious about Singin' in the Rain or Spamalot, or simply adore The Wizard of Oz or Grease, this well-researched and entertaining resource is the first place to turn for reliable information on virtually every aspect of the American musical.

Quality Body Oil
I love the ingredients in this and that it’s none comedogenic for my bacne. The spray bottle is not easy to apply since it’s messy so I put the contents into a glass pump bottle and leave the excess in the original bottle in the bathroom for my oil cleansing/make up removal or to spray on wet skin post shower. Wet skin stays a little oily so I tend to use a body powder but dry skin I can get away without it though it will leave a sheen (be careful with silk). It lasts me about 3 months and leaves my skin moisturized and soft

Not a spray; more like a stream
I purchased the body oil for my husband because he has eczema and needed something for moisture. I think I actually use it more than he does. The body oil comes in a spray bottle with a pump, but be prepared, it doesn't "spray" out of the nozzle. It's more like a stream. One good thing is that is doesn't run down your leg before you're able to wipe it around. The scent is not nice, but it does give you moisture. I had no irritation using it.

Really helps dry skin
Great product. I use after shower. After rubbing it in my skin it seems to soak in quickly so not greasy on clothes. I have not had the dry skin problems usually do in winter since using this product!

Allergic
I would not say don’t use this product, but for me, after the 2nd use, I noticed bumps on my forearm, rough skin on the back of my elbows. So to say, I am having an allergic reaction. Some people may not, but I am. The smell is bad when you open the bottle, but dissipates after you put it on and it sits for a while. I can’t use because of highly sensitive eczema, maybe someone else can.
