Clark Spring Semester 2020 Homeschoole MT
Clark Spring Semester 2020 Homeschoole MT JENNA: In the early 1940s, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein III’s ‘Oklahoma!,’ adapted from a play written by Claremore playwright Lynn Riggs, opened on Broadway. It was the first musical they wrote together.. KYLE: Each had already found success on Broadway: Rodgers, having written a series of popular musicals with lyricist Lorenz Hart, and Hammerstein, having written the monumental classic, ‘Show Boat.’ But together with ‘Oklahoma!', they would change musical theatre forever. “Oh! What a Beautiful Mornin’” There's a bright golden haze on the meadow There's a bright golden haze on the meadow The corn is as high as an elephant's eye And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky Oh, what a beautiful mornin' Oh, what a beautiful day I've got a beautiful feeling Everything's going my way All the cattle are standing like statues All the cattle are standing like statues They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by But a little brown maverick is winking her eye Oh, what a beautiful mornin' I've got a beautiful feeling Everything's going my way All the sounds of the earth are like music All the sounds of the earth are like music The breeze is so busy, it don't miss a tree And an old weeping willow is laughing at me Oh, what a beautiful mornin' Oh, what a beautiful day I've got a beautiful feeling Everything's going my way Oh, what a beautiful day ALEXA I: With its character-driven songs and innovative use of dance, ‘Oklahoma’ elevated how musicals were written.

Our work changed overnight, and we could look back at our own naivete in the ‘before time’ with a longing nostalgia. Perhaps once in a generation there is an event that so deeply impacts the very nature of life on this planet that it becomes their defining moment. As a society we have had to forge a way forward. As educators we have had to forge a way forward, as education is essential to our future. As live performers, we are working to forge a way forward in an industry that was the first to close and will be the last to fully return; and yet ‘live performance’ is so crucial and necessary to expressing our very soul and the struggles we confront. Our season theme is not rebuilding or reshaping our world.

South Pacific
THE MUSICO-DRAMATIC EVOLUTION OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN’S SOUTH PACIFIC DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James A. Lovensheimer, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Arved Ashby, Adviser Professor Charles M. Atkinson ________________________ Adviser Professor Lois Rosow School of Music Graduate Program ABSTRACT Since its opening in 1949, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Pulitzer Prize- winning musical South Pacific has been regarded as a masterpiece of the genre. Frequently revived, filmed for commercial release in 1958, and filmed again for television in 2000, it has reached audiences in the millions. It is based on selected stories from James A. Michener’s book, Tales of the South Pacific, also a Pulitzer Prize winner; the plots of these stories, and the musical, explore ethnic and cutural prejudice, a theme whose treatment underwent changes during the musical’s evolution. This study concerns the musico-dramatic evolution of South Pacific, a previously unexplored process revealing the collaborative interaction of two masters at the peak of their creative powers. It also demonstrates the authors’ gradual softening of the show’s social commentary. The structural changes, observable through sketches found in the papers of Rodgers and Hammerstein, show how the team developed their characterizations through musical styles, making changes that often indicate changes in characters’ psychological states; they also reveal changing approaches to the musicalization of the novel. Studying these changes provides intimate and, occasionally, unexpected insights into Rodgers and Hammerstein’s creative methods.

Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre
Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre Women The repertoire suggestions below target specific developmental goals. It is important to keep in mind however that the distinguishing characteristic of musical theatre singing is the variability of tonal resonance within any given song. A predominantly soprano song might suddenly launch into a belt moment. A chest dominant ballad may release into a tender soprano. Story always pre-empts musical choices. “Just You Wait” from My Fair Lady is part of the soprano canon but we would be disappointed if Eliza could not tell Henry Higgins what she really felt. In order to make things easier for beginning students, it’s a good idea to find repertoire with targeted range and consistent quality as students develop skill in coordinating registration. Soprano Mix—Beginner, Teens to Young Adult Examples of songs to help young sopranos begin to feel functionally confident and enthusiastic about characters and repertoire. Integrating the middle soprano is a priority and it is wise to start there. My Ship Lady in the Dark Weill Far from the Home I Love Fiddler on the Roof Bock/ Harnick Ten Minutes Ago Cinderella Rodgers/Hammerstein Mr. Snow Carousel Rodgers/Hammerstein Happiness is a Thing Called Joe Cabin in the Sky Arlen/Harburg One Boy Bye Bye Birdie Strouse/Adams Dream with Me Peter Pan Bernstein Just Imagine Good News!

A Timely South Pacific Opens Olney Theatre's 2018-19
MEDIA CONTACT: Kristina Erwin Assistant Director of Marketing 301-924-4485 ext. 105 [email protected] A TIMELY SOUTH PACIFIC OPENS OLNEY THEATRE’S 2018-19 SEASON Director Alan Muraoka and Choreographer Darren Lee team with Lincoln Center vet William Michals and local favorite Jessica Lauren Ball Olney, MD — August 2, 2018 — Olney Theatre Center opens its 81st season on the Mainstage with the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, South Pacific, running August 31 - October 7, 2018. Alan Muraoka, best known as a long-time cast member on Sesame Street, returns to Olney Theatre to direct and re-teams with Darren Lee, his choreographer from their 2014 production of Once On This Island. Invited press night is Thursday, September 6, 2018 at 8:00pm. South Pacific broke new ground in 1949 by combining unforgettable songs with incisive social commentary about racism and prejudice wrapped up in a story about love and war. Director Alan Muraoka maintains the story has lost none of its edge and says, "At first glance South Pacific seems to be this old, quaint chestnut of a musical written by the original masters of American Musical Theatre, Rodgers & Hammerstein. But South Pacific's story of a young American woman's journey to overcome her learned prejudice in order to find true love seems entirely necessary in our current times.” William Michals, a veteran of the 2010 Lincoln Center Theater production of South Pacific, returns to the role of Emile de Becque, the French planter with two mixed-race children and in-love with the American nurse, Nellie Forbush, portrayed by Olney veteran and Helen Hayes Award-nominee Jessica Lauren Ball (Guys and Dolls).

South Pacific by Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua
Young Critics Reviews Fall 2011-2012 South Pacific By Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan At the Hippodrome Theatre through October 9 By Amanda Sztein UNBALANCED SOUTH PACIFIC FAILS TO COMMIT The characters, writers and production staff of “South Pacific” all failed to commit. The writers were tempted by a myriad of themes, plots and subplots. Unforgiving accents, repetitive songs and lack of direction tempted the characters. The production staff could not decide on a single style throughout the show. The combination of these three factors results in an amount of temptation equaled only by a supposedly faithful boyfriend at a lingerie fashion show. Both the original material and the current execution of this acclaimed Broadway musical, now at the Hippodrome Theatre, suffer from this indecision. The original 1949 run of “South Pacific” garnered 10 Tony awards, while the 2008 revival earned seven more. These are very misleading figures, as “South Pacific” has several internal flaws that even the best production could not overcome. “South Pacific” is based on James A Michener’s collection of short stories. The attempt to tackle many different themes and stories creates a show with far too many plots and subplots. The musical both starts and ends with the tumultuous relationship between Southern nurse Nellie Forbush (Katie Reid) and exiled Frenchman Emile de Becque’s (Marcelo Guzzo), who experience many trials and tribulations due to his Polynesian children from a previous marriage. Had the play explored this theme fully, it would have been more controversial, especially in the 1940s, but would also have had a more cohesive energy.
