       | I highly recommend the documentary Bathtubs over Broadway. They
       | touch on the work of Michael Brown as well as other composers.

       | The associated book is great too, and the author, Steve Young[1],
       | is very responsive to questions by email.

       | One sad thing I have learned is that there was a lot of cynicism
       | about industrial shows back in the day. The makers of those shows
       | were often looked down upon and ostracised by composers and
       | artists working on Broadway musicals, even though the level of
       | craft and talent involved was often incredibly high, and there
       | was a lot of overlap in the talent pool.
