Green, Stanley
Green, Stanley (1923–90), scholar and author. Born in New York and educated at Union College and the University of Nebraska, Green became a leading modern authority of our musical theatre. His works included The World of Musical Comedy (1960, and later revised editions); The Rodgers and Hammerstein Story (1963); Ring Bells! Sing Songs! (1971), a detailed examination of the musical theatre of the 1930s; Encyclopedia of the Musical Theatre (1976); The Great Clowns of Broadway (1984); and Broadway Musicals (1985). These books were characterized by an accuracy all too rare in popular show business histories, sound judgment, and an especially felicitous writing style.
