David Braham: The American Offenbach - Paperback
by John Franceschina (Author)
David Braham (1834-1905) was the musical director for the famous vaudeville team of Harrigan and Hart, writing music for many of their comic songs, including The Mulligan Guards, Paddie Duffy's Cart, and many more. His long career as a theatrical composer in New York helped establish a new style of Broadway musical. He came from a family well-entrenched in the music and theater worlds, and his story touches upon nearly all aspects of the history of American musical theater of this era.
John Franceschina is a noted authority on 19th-century theater. He has edited a number of anthologies for Garland, including Women and the Profession of Theater, 1810-1860 and Sisters of Gore: Seven Gothic Melodramas by British Women, 1790-1843.
