THTR 204 - The American Musical

(3.00)

This course will follow the changing form and content of the American musical. After a brief summary of early American musical plays, revues and operettas, the major part of this course will concentrate on innovations that have changed these old forms into the modern musical. These changes also will reflect changing social patterns in the United States. Some original sources will be compared with the resulting musicals. Films, recordings and live singers will be used in the class.
