Book Synopsis Musical Theater by : Alyson McLamore
Download or read book Musical Theater written by Alyson McLamore and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Surveys of Musical Theater, Music Appreciation courses and Popular Culture Surveys. This unique historical survey illustrates the interaction of multiple artistic and dramatic considerations with an overview of the development of numerous popular musical theater genres. This introduction provides more than a history of musical theater, it studies the music within the shows to provide an understanding of the contributions of musical theater composers as clearly as the artistry of musical theater lyricists and librettists. The familiarity of the musical helps students understand how music functions in a song and a show, while giving them the vocabulary to discuss their perceptions.

Book Synopsis The American Musical and the Performance of Personal Identity by : Raymond Knapp
Download or read book The American Musical and the Performance of Personal Identity written by Raymond Knapp and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-21 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American musical has long provided an important vehicle through which writers, performers, and audiences reimagine who they are and how they might best interact with the world around them. Musicals are especially good at this because they provide not only an opportunity for us to enact dramatic versions of alternative identities, but also the material for performing such alternatives in the real world, through songs and the characters and attitudes those songs project. This book addresses a variety of specific themes in musicals that serve this general function: fairy tale and fantasy, idealism and inspiration, gender and sexuality, and relationships, among others. It also considers three overlapping genres that are central, in quite different ways, to the projection of personal identity: operetta, movie musicals, and operatic musicals. Among the musicals discussed are Camelot, Candide; Chicago; Company; Evita; Gypsy; Into the Woods; Kiss Me, Kate; A Little Night Music; Man of La Mancha; Meet Me in St. Louis; The Merry Widow; Moulin Rouge; My Fair Lady; Passion; The Rocky Horror Picture Show; Singin' in the Rain; Stormy Weather; Sweeney Todd; and The Wizard of Oz. Complementing the author's earlier work, The American Musical and the Formation of National Identity, this book completes a two-volume thematic history of the genre, designed for general audiences and specialists alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peggy L. Headlund, author of Innocence: Simplicity of Spirit and Confidence: Reliance on the Spirit, returns with the third book in her acclaimed young adult series about the rousing adventures of Lilia Faith Christian. Fifteen-year-old Lilia lives on a ranch in Wailua, Kauai, with her family. She has a wondrous relationship with her animals. The musical prodigy is an internationally known singer and model. Her dad institutes one simple rule for her safety: Lilia cannot go anywhere by herself. Lilia disguises herself as a boy, stuffs an envelope full of money down her bra, and hitchhikes into Lihue. She passes the driver's test and buys a Jeep. When she drives back to the ranch, Jim, her bodyguard and boyfriend, is furious. When he demands the keys, she hides them. He retrieves a lug wrench and jack to remove a tire and disable the Jeep, and she fights him. Jim knows that Lilia responds to love with love, but her temper gets in the way. He adores this girl and wants to protect her, but she exasperates him at the same time. They both sit down with her parents to find a solution. Jim and Lilia work through their real-life situations with faith and hope. They learn they must have courage and trust to say goodbye to yesterday and tomorrow, because they discover that today has enough troubles of its own. Peggy L. Headlund grew up on a dairy farm in Farmington, Minnesota. She now lives in Calabasas, California, with her husband, Don, and two Westies.

Book Synopsis When Broadway Went to Hollywood by : Ethan Mordden
Download or read book When Broadway Went to Hollywood written by Ethan Mordden and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When films like The Jazz Singer started to integrate synchronized music, in the late 1920s many ambitious songwriting pioneers of the Great White Way - George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, and Lorenz Hart, among many others - were enticed westward by Hollywood studios' promises of national exposure and top dollar success. But what happened when writers native to the business of Broadway ran into the very different business of Hollywood? Their movies had their producer despots, their stacking of writing teams on a single project, their use of five or six songs per story where Broadway fit in a dozen, and it seemed as if everyone in Hollywood was uncomfortable with characters bursting into song on the street, in your living room, or in "a cottage small by a waterfall." Did the movies give theater writers a chance to expand their art, or did mass marketing ruin the musical's quintessential charm? Is it possible to trace the history of the musical through both stage and screen manifestations, or did Broadway and Hollywood give rise to two wholly irreconcilable art forms? And, finally, did any New York writer or writing team create a film musical as enthralling and timeless as their work for the stage? In When Broadway Went to Hollywood, writer and celebrated steward of musical theatre Ethan Mordden directs his unmistakable wit and whimsy to these challenging questions and more, charting the volatile and galvanizing influence of Broadway on Hollywood (and vice versa) throughout the twentieth century. Along the way, he takes us behind the scenes of the great Hollywood musicals you've seen and loved (The Wizard of Oz, Gigi, The Sound of Music, Chicago, West Side Story, The Music Man, Grease) as well as some of the outrageous flops you probably haven't. The first book to tell the story of how Broadway affected the Hollywood musical, When Broadway Goes to Hollywood is sure to thrill theatre buffs and movie lovers alike.
