The King and I - A Musical by composer Richard Rodgers & dramatist Oscar Hammerstein II WaCPAC Auditions - 9/21 (2 pm), 23, 24, & 26 (7 pm) Callbacks: 9/30 (7 pm) Performances dates: January 4, 5, 10, 11, & 12, 2020 This is an intergenerational musical so all ages are encouraged to audition. During the auditions, you will be asked to do a cold-read from a script for the artistic director. This means you will likely be given a short time (after you arrive for audition) to glance over a section of script and read with others also auditioning. We may have something diﬀerent for young non-readers for this part. For character names, part descriptions and vocal ranges, please check this link online: https://studylib.net/doc/7223371/the-attached-character-list. For the musical part of the audition, please sing a verse and chorus of a song. We would prefer a show tune, similar in style to The King and I for those that are teens and older. For younger ones, please have them sing a familiar tune. Examples of songs that could be used: Teens and Adults: “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” - Oklahoma! “Edelweiss” - The Sound of Music “Almost Like Being in Love” - Brigadoon “I Could’ve Danced All Night” - My Fair Lady Younger children: “I Whistle a Happy Tune” - The King and I “Getting to Know You” - The King and I “Do, Re, Mi” - The Sound of Music “Somewhere Out There” - An American Tail (ﬁlm) Mary Had a Little Lamb Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star If you would like to be considered for a singing role, even if only ever singing in a group/ensemble in the show, you must do a singing audition. There are parts for non- singers as well, but very few. Children’s parts for this show all require singing. For very young children, we highly encourage a parent to audition as well, since a parent will be responsible for young ones backstage. This will be a long show, so patience is helpful for everyone involved. We will also be looking for backstage crew/help for the show (non-acting roles). .

Solomon and Sinatra: the Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case a Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016
1 Solomon and Sinatra: The Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case A Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016 Part 3 There are a multitude of biblical themes expressed by non-believing Jewish songwriters in the American Songbook, but one fine example for our purposes in this class is the theme of: no Sex before marriage “Love and Marriage” In 1955 Jimmy Van Heusen (a Methodist) with Jewish lyricist Sammy Cahn wrote “Love and Marriage” which was introduced (ironically) by Frank Sinatra in the television production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town. It is the biggest hit to ever come out of a television special. In 1956, the song, "Love and Marriage" won the Emmy Award for Best Musical Contribution from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The Cahn inspired clever lyrics euphemistically call “sex” “love” and claim that mom told dad you can’t have sex (“love”) without marriage. The song was used as the theme song for the long-running (1987–97) FOX television sitcom Married... with Children. Additionally, the song has been used in several national commercial campaigns. “Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell you brother you can't have one without the other. Love and marriage, love and marriage, it's an institute you can't disparage. Ask the local gentry and they will say it's elementary. Try, try, try to separate them it's an illusion Try, try, try, and you will only come to this conclusion.

Hailey – Do you hear that beat? Baylee –It’s the sound of people entering the theater on the most famous street in the world. Brielle – Do you hear that beat? It’s the sound of dancing feet and orchestras tuning up. Lorelei – Do you hear that beat? It’s the sound of Rogers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Lowe, Webber and Rice. Jacob – It’s the sound of Stephen Sondheim and Stephen Schwartz. Kaden – It’s the sound of Oklahoma, Cats, The King and I. Elysa – It’s the sound of Wicked, and Fiddler on the Roof! Devin O. – Do you hear that beat? It’s the sound that dreams are made of. Emerson – Do you hear that beat? It’s the sound of Broadway! Amelia – And nobody can stop it!! -YOU CAN’T STOP THE BEAT – Homant Nathan – That’s right! You can’t stop the beat on Broadway! Abby – Speaking of Broadway, do you know who was known as “the father of American musical comedy?” Hayden – Why sure! That was George M. Cohan. Abby – That’s right! Do you know what the “M” stands for? Hayden – Umm. Maestro? Jason – Nope! Hayden – Mario? Jason – Hardly! Hayden – Marcello? Blaine – Not even close. George M.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-. 117. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/etd2020/117 HOW ARTISTS CAN CAPTURE US: EDUCATING ABOUT THE WORKS OF STEPHEN SONDHEIM THROUGH PARODY By JARRETT POORE B.F.A, University of Central Florida 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Theatre in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2020 © Jarrett Mark Poore 2020 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examined the modern renaissance man and his relationship between musical theatre history and parody; it examined how the modern artist created, produced, and facilitated an original parody in which humor can both influence and enhance an individual’s interest in the art form. In the creation and production of The Complete Works of Stephen Sondheim [abridged], I showcased factual insight on one of the most prolific writers of musical theatre and infused it with comedy in order to educate and create appeal for Stephen Sondheim’s works, especially those lesser known, to a wider theatrical audience.

A New Dawn for Hair by Richard Zoglin
Back to Article Click to Print Thursday, Jul. 31, 2008 A New Dawn for Hair By Richard Zoglin I never saw the original production of Hair, but I did catch the show a couple of years after its 1968 Broadway debut, when the touring company came to San Francisco. I was a student at Berkeley, and I would occasionally take a break from dodging tear gas in Sproul Plaza to usher for plays in the city. It was a good deal: students could spend half an hour helping fat cats find their way to their orchestra seats and, after the curtain went up, take any empty seat for free. Except that the night I saw Hair, the house was full, so the ushers had to sit on the aisle steps in the balcony. Which turned out to be the perfect way to experience the celebrated "tribal rock musical" that brought the communal spirit of the '60s youth culture to Broadway for the first time. It was the greatest night of my theater life. Well, maybe not quite. But allow a baby boomer his memories. (To be honest, I probably didn't call them fat cats either.) And allow Hair--or so even some professed fans of the show have pleaded--to remain in the mists of '60s nostalgia. After a flop 1977 Broadway revival and a not-much-more-successful 1979 movie version directed by Milos Forman, the feeling seemed to harden that the Age of Aquarius was over and trying to bring it back would look hopelessly out of touch, even silly, in this cynical new millennium.

Sondheim's Didactic Nature and Its Effects On
DeLong 1 Darcie DeLong November 29, 2012 Comp 211 Dr. Hoover Careful the Things You Say: Sondheim’s Didactic Nature and its Effects on Community Stephen Sondheim is a well-known, award-winning musical theatre composer and lyricist. He has written the music and lyrics for 18 Broadway productions as well as songs for T.V. and movies. He has won seven Tony Awards, an Academy Award, seven Grammys, a Pulitzer Prize and a Laurence Olivier Award. His prolific career began in 1954 when he wrote the lyrics for West Side Story alongside composer Leonard Bernstein. His first musical as both composer and lyricist was A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. From then on, Sondheim shaped his musicals according his own creative vision. He was among the first to write a concept musical, or a musical in which “there is a solid storyline but all major elements of these shows are linked in some way to the central subject” (Kenrick). This means the plot isn’t necessarily about events taking place but the cause or effect of those events on human beings. Another important aspect of Sondheim’s musicals is his didactic writing. Sondheim’s didactic nature dictates his structural form in many ways. His music, lyrics and characters are all affected by his didactic nature. Didactic theatre is uncommon; many composers’ chief goal is to entertain. For example Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musicals are famous and even those who aren’t musical theatre enthusiasts find his work entertaining. Nothing about Webber’s shows challenges an audience member’s world view or moral principles.
