MU 244 - American Musical Theater

A history of American musical theater, focusing on the professional Broadway repertory of the twentieth century, from Victor Herbert through Stephen Sondheim. This course examines the principle composers and lyricists and their shows, the cultural and stylistic trends they represent, the musical and dramatic forms they employ, and the social issues that inform both the context and the content of this repertory. No musical experience is required, but interested students will have performance opportunities.
