Klappentext
Winner of the Architectural Book Awards 2020 Architectural Reference Book of the Year. Cameron Mackintosh is the world‿s leading theatrical producer of musicals such as Cats, Les Misérables and The Phantom of the Opera. He is also a significant theatre owner and has completed a two-decade campaign of refurbishment and rebuilding of eight London theatres that has set the tempo for maintaining one of Britain‿s greatest cultural heritages for the next century. Master of the House charts the stories of these eight historic London buildings ‿ their origins, their iconic shows and productions, the stars and the glamour. Lavishly illustrated with images from the Delfont Mackintosh archive, the book also contains original architect drawings, specially-commissioned photographs of the refurbishment, show posters and other theatre ephemera, and many sweeping panoramas of the exquisitely finished spaces.
