I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

CHAPTER 8 Bohemians Greenwich Village and The Masses Joanna Levin Ever since Rodolphe, Henri Murger's prototypical struggling writer, stood before the grave of Mimi, his lost love and partner in the romance of bohemia, crying, "Oh my youth, it is you that is being buried," la vie boheme has represented a fabled transitional period between youth and mature adulthood in many an individual life, memoir, and Bildungsroman (Seigel 45). Similarly, ever since its inception in the wake of the 1830 Rev­ olution in France, bohemianism - as a larger subcultural movement has flourished during periods of historical transition. It was in the tumultuous lead-up to the Civil War that la vie boheme first took root in the United States (in a basement beer hall beneath the sidewalks of Broadway and Bleecker and on the pages of the New York Saturday Press), but it was dur­ ing the 1910s, the decade known for ushering in a host of radical and mod­ ernist movements, that bohemia assumed its most famous American form in New York City's Greenwich Village.

  • Rent Glossary of Terms
    Rent Glossary of Terms 11th Street and Avenue B CBGB’s – More properly CBGB & OMFUG, a club on Bowery Ave between 1st and 2nd streets. The following is taken from the website http://www.cbgb.com. It is a history written by Hilly Kristal, the founder of CBGB and OMFUG. The question most often asked of me is, "What does CBGB stand for?" I reply, "It stands for the kind of music I intended to have, but not the kind that we became famous for: COUNTRY BLUEGRASS BLUES." The next question is always, "but what does OMFUG stand for?" and I say "That's more of what we do, It means OTHER MUSIC FOR UPLIFTING GORMANDIZERS." And what is a gormandizer? It’s a voracious eater of, in this case, MUSIC. […] The obvious follow up question is often "is this your favorite kind of music?" No!!! I've always liked all kinds but half the radio stations all over the U.S. were playing country music, cool juke boxes were playing blues and bluegrass as well as folk and country. Also, a lot of my artist/writer friends were always going off to some fiddlers convention (bluegrass concert) or blues and folk festivals. So I thought it would be a whole lot of fun to have my own club with all this kind of music playing there. Unfortunately—or perhaps FORTUNATELY—things didn't work out quite the way I 'd expected. That first year was an exercise in persistence and a trial in patience. My determination to book only musicians who played their own music instead of copying others, was indomitable.

As demonstrated by the flurry of articles in specialized columns and websites like “Playbill” (“Original Rent Cast”) and “Entertainment Weekly” (Derschowitz), blogs such as “Broadway Musical Blog” (Rigsbee), and tweets (“#BroadwayCon”), the convention had a meaningful significance for fans of the musical Rent, which celebrated 20 years from its opening off-Broadway during that weekend. More somberly, the festivities were also a chance to remember its creator, Jonathan Larson, who died the night before the first off-Broadway preview. However, the film adaptation of Rent (Chris Columbus, 2005) has not enjoyed the same enduring popularity of the stage musical.

  • The Creation and Development of Rent by Jonathan Larson
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: “OVER THE MOON”: THE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF RENT BY JONATHAN LARSON Elizabeth Titrington, Master of Arts, 2007 Directed By: Professor Richard King Chair, Department of Musicology Despite its critical acclaim and commercial success , the hit musical Rent by Jonathan Larson has received scant attention in academic literature. The story of Rent has been told and retold in the popular media, but a look at Larson’s own drafts, notes, and other personal wri tings adds another important and largely missing voice – Larson’s own. In this study, I use the Jonathan Larson Collection, donated to the Library of Congress in 2004 , to examine this seminal work and composer by tracing Rent ’s development and documenting L arson’s creative process. My analysis of material from the Larson Collection and the interviews of others involved in Rent ’s development reveal s the story of how this unconventional rock musical made it to the stage, highlighting the importance of visio n, but also of revision and collaboration. “OVER THE MOON”: THE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF RENT BY JONATHAN LARSON By Elizabeth Corbin Titrington Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryl and, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2007 Advisory Committee: Professor Richard King , Chair Professor Jonathan Dueck Professor Robert Provine © Copyright by Elizabeth Titrington 2007 Preface Although I cannot claim the status of Rent head – I do not know every word to “La Vie Bohème” by heart or have a website dedicated to the show – I admit to approach ing this project as a fan as well as scho lar.

By way of this rigorous intellectual experience, students will develop college-level skills in research, writing, speaking, and discussion through an approach that is both interdisciplinary and contemporary. COURSE DESCRIPTION: For much of the 20th century, musicals stood at the center of American culture, producing tunes and tales that became the hits of their day. They commented on the ever-shifting social and political landscape, while pushing musical, dramatic, and choreographic boundaries, all within the confines of a commercial industry. This course explores the musical artistry and cultural resonances of several iconic shows, as rendered on stage and screen, including Shuffle Along (1922), Show Boat (1927), Oklahoma (1943), Singin’ in the Rain (1952), West Side Story (1957), Pacific Overtures (1976), Rent (1994), and Hamilton (2015). We will examine musical styles alongside broad cultural themes associated with the musical, including artistic collaboration, race and representation, gender, the role of dance, and adaptation across media. This course will serve as a window into the musical’s power to reflect and shape any given historical moment.
