I would also like to thank his daughter Hallie for her kind assistance. I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Dr. Laurin Porter, my supervising professor, an extraordinary teacher, a remarkable scholar, and a generous and thoughtful person. During my graduate studies, her wisdom has inspired me and her encouragement has sustained me. I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the members of my graduate committee, Dr. Desirée Henderson and Dr. Neill Matheson, and also to Dr. Wendy Faris and Dr. Thomas Porter, for their kindness and their work on my behalf. I am grateful to Dr. Russell Martin III, the director of the DeGolyer Library at Southern Methodist University, and his staff, who assisted me during the many months I spent conducting archival research. Finally, and most importantly, I would like to thank my husband Robert for his unwavering support and love.

  • Grease" Is Presented Through Special Arrangement with and All Authorised Performance Material Are Supplied by Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW)
    The Geneva Amateur Operatic Society Really Youthful Group presents: Book, Music, and Lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey "Grease" is presented through special arrangement with and all authorised performance material are supplied by Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW). 122-124 Regents Street, 3rd floor, London, W1B 5SA www.theatricalrights.co.uk The videotaping or audio recording of this performance is strictly prohibited Know it all Chairman's welcome Dear Friends of GAOS, on behalf of the Society I would like to welcome you to the Marens theatre here for the 2019 Really Youthful Group production of Grease. I’m sure Grease needs no introduction – as both young and old will have seen clips of Olivia Newton John and John Travolta singing the well known melodies. So instead I thought it would be more useful - for the benefit of those that have never seen a GAOS musical production until now – to explain that GAOS has been active in Geneva since 1971 – and has welcomed thousands of people to its shows over the soon to be 50 years. We depend on ticket sales to finance future production and we receive no sponsorship or subsidies. Over the years we have enjoyed a growing and diverse membership of people who work and have fun together on-and- off stage to produce shows of a high standard. The Really Useful Group was established by the Society over ten years ago as a means to introduce teenagers to musical theatre, and most importantly, to encourage those returning to Geneva after their studies to enrich the Society with their newly acquired skills either as actors, musicians, set designers, costume designers, lighting or sound engineers, or any of the other myriad of jobs that together make our productions so enjoyable for audiences and participants alike.

  • Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By
    Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By Elizabeth Sallinger M.M., Duquesne University, 2010 B.A., Pennsylvania State University, 2008 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Paul R. Laird Roberta Freund Schwartz Bryan Kip Haaheim Colin Roust Leslie Bennett Date Defended: 5 December 2016 ii The dissertation committee for Elizabeth Sallinger certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 Chair: Paul R. Laird Date Approved: 5 December 2016 iii Abstract In 1968, the sound of the Broadway pit was forever changed with the rock ensemble that accompanied Hair. The musical backdrop for the show was appropriate for the countercultural subject matter, taking into account the popular genres of the time that were connected with such figures, and marrying them to other musical styles to help support the individual characters. Though popular styles had long been part of Broadway scores, it took more than a decade for rock to become a major influence in the commercial theater. The associations an audience had with rock music outside of a theater affected perception of the plot and characters in new ways and allowed for shows to be marketed toward younger demographics, expanding the audience base. Other shows contemporary to Hair began to include rock music and approaches as well; composers and orchestrators incorporated instruments such as electric guitar, bass, and synthesizer, amplification in the pit, and backup singers as components of their scores.
