    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.

    From the Director Welcome to the UAH campus and thank you for joining us tonight. Now that the cold dark days of winter are fading, we are here to celebrate the coming of spring with a fun Broad- way musical. This talented and devoted cast of players, artists, directors and technicians have been toiling through the winter months to prepare this wonderful piece of theatre to share with you, our humble audience. UAH Theatre is proud to be a part of this rich artistic community and privileged to offer this creative study to our students. Please enjoy the show and be sure to tell your friends that we are here producing live theatre at Huntsville’s own University. David Harwell - Director About the Musical Winner of three Tony awards and one of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, URINETOWN is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he’s had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, URINETOWN is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Greg Kotis had the idea for Urinetown while traveling in Europe.

  • 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.
