You've Got to Have a Dream

Ian Bradley

Paperback 2004-09-01

Publisher Description

This book argues that musicals provide millions of people across the world not just with entertainment and escapism but with spiritual and theological values, a philosophy of life and an encounter with God. It traces the underlying philosophy and world-view found in musical theatre from Gilbert & Sullivan to The Lion King and Rent. The spiritual, theological and philosophical resonances of seminal musicals like Carousel, Jesus Christ Superstar and Les Miserables are discussed in detail and the book ends by looking at what message musical theatre may have for the churches and for Christian worship in particular.
