  • Elegies Study Guide
    Producing contemporary musical theatre. Inspiring Toronto audiences. Study Guide for Students Brief Overview Study Guide Purpose This study guide is designed for both teachers and students who will be attending Acting Up Stage Company’s production of William Finn's Elegies: A Song Cycle. This study guide provides information on the show, the creators, the cast, some additional context and explanation, and various activities that can be completed to enhance the theatre experience. Brief Overview of Elegies How do we deal with loss in a post 9/11 world? Through the 18 stories told onstage, Tony Award winner William Finn (Falsettos, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) pays tribute to relatives and friends, long-lost pets, and the victims of 9/11, celebrating those who have passed on. Often hilarious, always touching, and very poignant, Elegies takes us on a musical journey that explores the modern world that we live in, and life’s infinite joys. Five singers (three men, two women) take on different roles throughout the cycle, sometimes assuming the voice of a friend or loved one, and sometimes inhabiting Finn himself. No matter how specific Finn gets—be it a street address, the name of a recalcitrant dog, or a friend’s favourite vacation spot—these songs are as much about our lives as his. We see in each character shades of those closest to us, our family and our friends—the family we choose. History of Acting Up Stage Company Acting Up Stage Company was incorporated in May 2004 as a non-for-profit organization dedicated to producing, developing and advancing the versatile art of musical theatre in Canada.

  • Communicating in Song: the American Sung-Through Musical from in Trousers (1979) to Caroline, Or Change (2004)
    Communicating in Song: The American Sung-Through Musical from In Trousers (1979) to Caroline, or Change (2004) A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Alexandre Bádue BM, Federal University of Paraná, 2007 MM, University of Cincinnati, 2012 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT In the American musical theater, the book musical has always presented a conspicuous alternation of songs and spoken dialogue. The former interrupt the latter and provides additional means to depict the characters and the dramatic situations. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, however, a second subgenre of the musical came to prominence: the sung-through musical, in which the entire script—monologues, conversations, turning points—all occur in song, eschewing spoken dialogue and contrasting with the aesthetics of the book musical. This dissertation demonstrates that by avoiding spoken dialogue and increasing the amount of music, American sung-through musicals from 1979 until 2004 challenged the means of structuring musicals. This study investigates how creative teams of sung-through musicals have used songs alone to create, organize, and communicate dramaturgy, questioning the limits between singing and speaking in musical theater. This study comprises twelve sung-through musicals that were written and composed in the United States and originally produced in New York City’s Broadway or Off-Broadway circuits. It does not consider the British sung-through musicals that were successful on Broadway during the same time period.

Because of this close association and how society’s views have changed towards the community, LGBTQ+ representation has changed on stage as well. The stereotyping of all members of the community has made it to the stage at one point or another; with the most recent LGBTQ+ movements, these stereotypes have changed and are depicted on the stage fewer times in favor of a more realistic approach. While the stereotypes are still there and have not been excluded entirely from musical theatre, LGBTQ+ characters are now being portrayed more realistically and in a way that the community can be proud of instead of finding the characterization offensive. Through a careful analysis of three musicals ranging from 1992-2015, this project shows exactly how the representation of LGBTQ+ characters has changed and defied the stereotypes placed on the community.

  • "Just Saying Our Goodbyes": <I>Elegies'</I> Queer Interventions
    Global Posts building CUNY Communities since 2009 http://tags.commons.gc.cuny.edu "Just Saying Our Goodbyes": Elegies' Queer Interventions into the History of 9/11 In Elegies: A Song Cycle, the 2003 William Finn musical first produced at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater at Lincoln Center, five performers sing both in honor of and as the lost.[1] More specifically, they perform losses from the life of the gay Jewish composer-lyricist William Finn, embodying and/or narrating the lives of a diverse array of characters linked only by their connections to him. From a nameless English teacher, to Finn’s mother Barbara, to the architect who designed the Twin Towers, to producer/director Joseph Papp, to Finn himself, this musical engages with a range of histories. Some of those histories are obviously public (the events of 9/11, which are presented at the end of the evening); others are seemingly personal (the death of Finn’s mother); all are approached from a queer perspective. Finn (b. 1952 ) is perhaps best known as the composer and lyricist for the 1992 Broadway musical Falsettos, which tells the story of Marvin, a gay Jewish man, and his queer family: his ex-wife Trina, their son, Jason, Marvin’s lover, Whizzer, and Trina’s husband (and Marvin’s former psychiatrist) Mendel. While the first act focuses on these characters as they awkwardly attempt to negotiate their relationships, the second centers largely on Whizzer’s battle with, and eventual death from, AIDS.[2] Finn’s other well-known shows include A New Brain (1998), about a gay musician suffering from a brain tumor, and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2005), which humorously dramatizes the competition, camaraderie, and struggle for (and against) perfection amongst idiosyncratic children at a local spelling bee.
