Zusammenfassung:The Ziegfield Touch is the first comprehensive book about the legendary Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. (1867-1932), one of Broadway's greatest producers and most intriguing characters. Perhaps best known as the genius behind Show Boat and the long-running Ziegfield Follies revue series, Ziegfeld spared no expense in making his shows into glittering extravaganzas the likes of which had never before been seen
By introducing innovative, always imaginative staging and lighting techniques; by hiring the foremost composers, lyricists, costumers, and set designers; and by bringing to the stage the best actors, singers, and comedians - as well as the most beautiful showgirls and chorus girls - he permanently transformed musical theater. In short, the name Ziegfeld became a metaphor for panache, a metaphor that worked its way into the language as shorthand for the best of New York theater
