Broadway Musicals: A Fascinating History

Musicals have been a major part of American theater, from the Tin Pan Alley-driven comedy works of the early part of the 20th century, to the integrated musicals that flourished in the heyday years of midcentury America. We will also explore book musicals, concept musicals, and the arrival of European mega-productions late in the century. We will profile some of the theater world’s leading composers, lyricists, writers, choreographers, directors, performers, and will study some of the most unforgettable shows, like Oklahoma, My Fair Lady, Showboat, Guys and Dolls, Company, Hair, Cabaret, Rent, Wicked, Hamilton, and many more.
