MUSC-231 Musical on Stage & Screen

MUSC-231 Musical on Stage & Screen
Faculty:
  • DelDonna, Anthony
    • This course will cover the evolution of the American musical starting with operetta and George M. Cohan, and moving through the exuberance of the 20s and 30s. It stops to focus on Show Boat and Porgy and Bess, the Rodgers and Hammerstein revolution, coming of age with West Side Story and the works of Sondheim, the British and French invasions of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Claude-Michel Schonberg (Les Miserables), and ends with who's hot today and might be tomorrow. Along the way, individual classes will focus on the movie musical, major performers, the influence of off-Broadway, directors and choreographers, and an analysis of music and lyric writing. There will be a lot of listening to recordings and watching excerpts from films.
