Strange Loop?
Did you know that the Pulitzer Prize for Drama has been awarded to just ten musicals since the award's inception in 1917?
Why have certain musicals captured the imagination and hearts of the Pulitzer Prize committee?

Deep diving into the development of each show, this accessible study unpacks the creation, production,

Each chapter traces a different Prize-winning show from its inception to its opening night. It introduces the reader to each musical's key creators and company members and places them in the larger context of Broadway history.
