The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance
Gordon 1 Jessica Gordon 29 March 2010 Honors Thesis Everything was Beautiful at the Ballet: The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance During the mid-1860s, a ballet troupe from Paris was brought to the Academy of Music in lower Manhattan. Before the company’s first performance, however, the theatre in which they were to dance was destroyed in a fire. Nearby, producer William Wheatley was preparing to begin performances of The Black Crook, a melodrama with music by Charles M. Barras. Seeing an opportunity, Wheatley conceived the idea to combine his play and the displaced dance company, mixing drama and spectacle on one stage. On September 12, 1866, The Black Crook opened at Niblo’s Gardens and was an immediate sensation. Wheatley had unknowingly created a new American art form that would become a tradition for years to come. Since the first performance of The Black Crook, dance has played an important role in musical theatre. From the dream ballet in Oklahoma to the “Dance at the Gym” in West Side Story to modern shows such as Movin’ Out, dance has helped tell stories and engage audiences throughout musical theatre history. Dance has not always been as integrated in musicals as it tends to be today. I plan to examine the moments in history during which the role of dance on the Broadway stage changed and how those changes affected the manner in which dance is used on stage today. Additionally, I will discuss the important choreographers who have helped develop the musical theatre dance styles and traditions. As previously mentioned, theatrical dance in America began with the integration of European classical ballet and American melodrama.

Introduction
INTRODUCTION "Broadway may only be a street to some people, but to some of the rest of us it's a religion." So claimed Eddie Foy, Sr. onstage at the Palace Theater, and thousands of people have proved his statement true. Broadway is the only spot where the hundreds of different worlds that constitute New York City meet face-to-face. The result has been funny, dramatic, and sometimes deadly. Broadway mixes hookers, Broadway stars, gangsters, newspapermen, schnor- rers, and bon vivants, rubberneckers, and passersby. These worlds all coexist in 10 blocks of Broadway. Surprisingly, there has been no comprehensive history of the Times Square area. There have been short books with chatty rundowns on the nightclubs and theaters, but they have tended to be very vague and broad in scope. Few facts enter into the pages of those books. This book is meant to be an informal guidebook to the mercurial history of Broadway. Partly scholarly and partly anecdotal, the book, like Broadway itself, can be used by those who have an exact destination in mind or those who wish to wander aimlessly, browsing up and down the boulevard. For those hardy souls who are purposeful in their quest, major entries are arranged alphabetically. Subjects not covered in their own separate entries are listed in the index. My hope is that the referrals in the index will lead the interested reader to a somewhat complete idea of a person's career or a place's importance in Times Square history. Those who would rather take a more lighthearted browse through the history can pick an entry at random and follow the cross-references to additional entries.

(Construction) proscenium theatres were being built on one site by the Marcus Loew circuit, an aggressively expanding New York chain. The complex was designed by Thomas W Lamb, an important New York City architect who was in the process of defining a new building type. Most of the building stood on a large lot on Victoria Street, where real estate and taxes were relatively cheap, but where there was scant pedestrian traffic. From this vantage, and not from the Yonge Street entrance in the next block, one could see the double theatres, one auditorium nestled above the other, the upper auditorium and stage house built in front of the stage house of the lower theatre (figures 1 and 4). On Yonge Street was a narrow entrance to a long lobby corridor. For a minimum investment in prime real estate, Loew's gained access to hordes of passers-by (figure 2). 46 SSAC BULLETIN SEAC 14:2 ~!T"'f - C'P! ~TWt.t:'T ~ LO~W ' J YOMC.f'.
