The second in writer-director Scott Miller's ABCs series, The ABCs of Acting in Musicals: A Civilian's Guide is a fun, easy-to-read, totally non-intimidating way to get a basic understanding of the very difficult craft of creating a solid performance in a stage musical, including a brief history of musicals, a brief survey of acting methods, myths about musicals and about acting, useful musical theatre terms, good books and documentaries, plus a wide array of other related topics, like using silence and stillness, the Fourth Wall, realism and naturalism, playing funny, playing sexy, acting traps, audition tips, the nature of reality onstage, and lots more. Even trained, experienced musical theatre actors may learn something from this little book!
