John KenrickFrom John Kenrick: Hello, and welcome! If you love musicals, or would like to learn more about them, you have come to the right place. The links to the right will take you to a wide range of articles and resources on the history of musicals on stage, film and television - more than 800 commercial free pages.

This site includes a complete list of my upcoming talks.  If you are interested in arranging a Zoom or in-person talk for your group, please check out my extensive list of topics and/or email me. You can find video clips from some of my talks on  Musicals101's Youtube Channel.

Publishers Weekly calls my book Musical Theatre: A History "the go-to text in this subject." It has a foreward by Oscar Hammerstein III, and is available through Amazon.com and other retailers.
