Sinopsis

What elevates a theatrical production to a cultural phenomenon, captivating audiences for years? "Longest Running Shows" explores the secrets behind theatrical longevity, examining the blend of artistic vision, strategic management, and audience connection that allows certain shows to achieve unprecedented runs. Discover how factors like savvy marketing, economic conditions, and sheer luck contribute to a show's enduring appeal, while others, despite initial success, fade away. The book argues that long-term success isn't accidental, but a result of carefully orchestrated elements.

 
The book dissects iconic productions like "The Phantom of the Opera," "Les Misérables," and "Cats," analyzing their creative choices, marketing strategies, and audience reception to understand how they've adapted and maintained their appeal across generations. Learn how these shows navigated changing times and sustained relevance.

 
Examining box office records and archival materials, the book progresses from defining "the long run" in theatrical history to exploring case studies and, ultimately, synthesizing the principles underpinning theatrical longevity, offering insights into the economic impact and cultural influence of these shows.

For artists, creativity plays a powerful role in understanding, confronting, and negotiating the crises of the present. Seeding the Tradition explores conflicting creativities in traditional music in Hõ Chí Minh City, the Mekong Delta, and the Vietnamese diaspora, and how they influence contemporary southern Vietnamese culture. The book centers on the ways in which musicians of đón ca tài tù, a "music for diversion," practice creativity or sáng tạo in early 21st-century southern Vietnam. These musicians draw from long-standing theories of primarily Daoist creation while adopting strategically from and also reacting to a western neo-liberal model of creativity focused primarily—although not exclusively—on the individual genius. They play with metaphors of growth, development, and ruin to not only maintain their tradition but keep it vibrant in the rapidly-shifting context of modern Vietnam. With ethnographic descriptions of zither lessons in Hõ Chi Minh City, outdoor music cafes in Cãn Thơ, and television programs in Đõng Tháp, Seeding the Tradition offers a rich description of southern Vietnamese sáng tạo and suggests revised approaches to studying creativity in contemporary ethnomusicology.

Urban sociology is the study of social life, interactions, and institutions within cities and urban areas. As the global population continues to urbanize, understanding the social dynamics of cities has become increasingly important. Urban sociology examines how cities evolve, how people experience urban life, and how social, economic, and political forces shape urban environments. From towering metropolises to small urban centers, cities function as hubs of economic activity, cultural exchange, and political power. They also reflect and reinforce social inequalities, providing a unique lens through which to study contemporary social issues. 
The development of urban sociology as a discipline emerged in response to the rapid urbanization of the 19th and 20th centuries. Industrialization transformed rural societies into urban ones, drawing millions of people into cities in search of economic opportunities. Early sociologists, such as Georg Simmel, studied how urban life altered human interactions, emphasizing the psychological impact of living in densely populated environments. The Chicago School of Sociology, led by scholars like Robert Park and Louis Wirth, further explored urban life by analyzing migration, social organization, and spatial patterns. Their work laid the foundation for modern urban sociology by introducing key concepts such as social ecology and urban subcultures.
