Give My Regards to Broadway! What’s more fun than a Broadway musical? This is an encore presentation of a class we taught in 2018, so there are plenty of updates and Tony winning shows like Dear Evan Hansen and Kimberly Akimbo to bring us up to the present. Let melodies of Broadway carry you back to the Golden Age of the musical theater. Remember Oklahoma, South Pacific, Carousel and My Fair Lady? Besides these classics, here is a sampling of what we will cover: Reinventions of Broadway as Broadway takes a different direction. (Chorus Line, Hair, Hello Dolly); The “Lights” that make us laugh (Music Man, The Producers) and “The Darks” (Sweeny Todd, Rent); Disney’s influence on Broadway (Lion King, Aladdin, Frozen); The “Mega-Musicals” (Phantom, Les Mis, Company, Hamilton): and the great creators (Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim, Lin-Manuel Miranda).
Come be entertained and plan your next trip to “The Great White Way!”
