Hutchinson: There's No Business Like Show Business Act II

Oklahoma! set the standard for Broadway musicals in 1943. We will discuss a range of post-WW II musicals from literary adaptations ( Kiss Me Kate, Guys and Dolls, My Fair Lady ), TV exposure on The Ed Sullivan Show, to the new musical genres of the 50s and 60s ( West Side Story, Cabaret, Hair ). We will also examine musicals with an edge ( Chicago, A Chorus Line, Sweeny Todd ) and recent groundbreaking works ( 42nd Street, Phantom, The Lion King, Rent, The Producers ). Finally, we will explore the challenges of producing a 21st-century Broadway show ( Wicked ).

Date: Mondays, Oct. 5, 12 & 19
Times: 2–4 p.m.
Shears Technology Center, Justice Theater, Room 210
