Description:
Discover John Kander and Fred Ebb, the most artistically and commercially successful musical theatre writing team since Rodgers and Hammerstein, in a brand new way.




Identifying the theatrical approach that renders their musical dramaturgy unique, this book explores their importance within, and contribution to, musical theatre history. Through their biggest hits, Cabaret (1966) and Chicago (1975), Kander and Ebb have been performed on the stage more times both within and outside of the USA than any other American musical theatre writers. Unlike Sondheim, whose work from 1964 increasingly aspired towards the avant-garde, Kander and Ebb located their projects in a nexus between art and commercial entertainment, seeking to deconstruct popular forms in order to expose their ideological function.


This book investigates the full range of Kander and Ebb's collaboration from the pure comic entertainment of 70, Girls, 70 (1971) and Curtains (2006) to more overtly serious musicals such as Kiss of the Spiderwoman (1992), The Scottsboro Boys (2010) and The Visit (2014), which were less commercially successful precisely because they addressed disturbing subjects. It explores how the difficult material inspired beautiful, though challenging, scores. It also probes how the ironic counterpointing of luscious music with witty and demotic lyrics challenges the desire of a Broadway audience for escapist entertainment, devoid of critical self-reflection, in order to create complex, yet popular, masterpieces of the genre.

Nice fit.
Nice fit for Apple TV 4th generation Siri remote. Makes it a lot easier to hold and operate.

$5 Well Spent
This cover is well worth $5. The cover takes a very poorly designed Apple TV remote control, which is way too small and slippery for most hands, and transforms it into something that is more ergonomic. It fits the Apple TV remote like a glove, adds some extra beef to the control, and reduces the slippery nature of the original control.

A Nice Cover For A Decent Price.
I like this product because it protects the remote and makes it easier to keep track of it. I’d recommend buying it if you have kids or think the remote is too fragile feeling. Note: you only get one cover, not three like the picture seems to suggest.

Soft. Flexible. Easy to grab.
Pros: Soft. Durable. Fits. Cons: String durability. This silicone material is soft to the touch and feels great. It is very flexible as well and I expect it to last a long time. The design doesn’t interfere with the touchpad at all when trying to navigate and fast forward or fast reverse. There are top and bottom bumps with extra material that create this gap underneath. It’s such a minor detail but makes grabbing the remote so easy versus having it completely flat. There are cut outs for charging port, IR, Apple logo, and what I think is the microphone. It comes with a sling that gets attached to the cover. It’s an ok sling as over time it did fall apart for me. Granted we don’t really use the string much. You can hang it with the accessory it came with though. We just toss it around. Overall, this is a great case for your remote.

Looks like a new remote
Needed something to cover and also protect the remote after dropping it so many times that it was chipped around edge. This looks great and the remote is easier to find and looks like brand new.
