Professora Orientadora Claudia Marisa Silva de Oliveira Professor Coorientador Rubens Rodrigues Lima Junior 12/2020 ii Dedico este trabalho à minha mãe, Liana Chaves, uma grande artista, professora e pesquisadora, que será sempre uma fonte de inspiração constante na minha vida. Durante toda sua vida pude acompanhar o seu fazer artístico e sua luta para desenvolver no Brasil uma educação voltada para a valorização das artes. Ela me ensinou tudo o que sei e sempre me incentivou a estudar, pois só assim eu construiria a melhor trajetória dentro das artes cênicas. Seu esforço para me dar sempre a melhor educação me trouxe até aqui. Juntas sonhamos com a realização deste mestrado e sei que onde estiver estará felicíssima por esta conquista! iii Agradecimentos A Deus, meu Anjo da Guarda e Nossa Senhora de Fátima, meus protetores. À minha mãe, Liana Chaves, que me apoiou desde o princípio e fez de tudo para que eu viesse para Portugal realizar este mestrado. Ao amor da minha vida, parceiro de todas as horas, Ivan Salomoni, por todo amor e compreensão. Durante este mestrado nos conhecemos, namoramos, noivamos e casamos. Ivan esteve presente desde o início, me ajudando e me dando suporte de todas as formas para que eu alcançasse todos os meus objetivos e continuasse com o meu sonho. Na escrita desta dissertação, seu apoio, ajuda com as traduções e todas as nossas discussões sobre o tema foram fundamentais. À minha orientadora, Professora Dra. Claudia Marisa, que desde o início do mestrado me incentivou e me apoiou em todo o meu percurso acadêmico. Através dela, pude acompanhar os ensaios de uma ópera realizada pelos alunos da Pós-Graduação de Ópera e Estudos Músico-Teatrais e também tive a oportunidade de fazer uma disciplina de criação coreográfica da Pós- Graduação de Dança Contemporânea, que a mesma lecionou. Agradeço imensamente por ter aceitado ser minha orientadora desde o princípio. Seus conhecimentos sobre dança e coreografia foram indispensáveis para a escrita desta dissertação. Ao meu coorientador, Professor Dr. Rubens Lima Junior, que tenho tido o privilégio de acompanhar desde a minha graduação na UNIRIO. Nesta instituição participei do projeto UNIRIO Teatro Musicado, que o mesmo coordena, como estagiária de produção do espetáculo “O Mambembe” e aprendi muito sobre a criação dentro do teatro musical. Agradeço muitíssimo por ter aceitado ser meu coorientador e auxiliado na escolha dos coreógrafos e dos espetáculos a serem estudados, além de ter contribuído consideravelmente para esta pesquisa com seus conhecimentos acerca do teatro musical. Agradeço aos dois principalmente pela grande parceria e pelo trabalho em equipe. Foi uma honra ter sido orientada por dois professores tão generosos e que amam o que fazem. Obrigada por todo apoio, disponibilidade, presteza e pelo enorme compartilhamento de conhecimentos para que esta pesquisa fosse concluída e para o meu desenvolvimento profissional e pessoal. À diretora do mestrado, Professora Dra. Maria Manuela Bronze, pelo auxílio em todas as etapas deste percurso acadêmico. À Professora Dra. Sónia Maria da Costa Passos, pelo apoio e ajuda com as regras da APA na escrita desta dissertação. Aos professores e colegas do mestrado de Artes Cénicas da ESMAE, por todo o processo de aprendizagem compartilhado nos últimos dois anos. Aos amigos Adriana Martuscelli, Felipe Collyer, Gabriela Ehrenbrink, Gustavo Fonseca, Hélcia Macedo, Natália Amaral, Tatiana Dias Gomes e Valeska Picado, sem os quais eu não teria chegado até aqui. iv Resumo A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo traçar um panorama histórico do Teatro Musical apresentando os caminhos trilhados pela coreografia. Analisando a trajetória dos musicais, percebemos a evolução da dança, que nos últimos anos tornou-se um elemento dramático dentro dos espetáculos. Neste contexto, notamos que um dos fatores essenciais para que isso ocorresse foi o surgimento e a evolução dos diretores-coreógrafos. Dessa forma, observando as biografias dos coreógrafos Agnes de Mille, Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse e Susan Stroman, analisamos os seus musicais: “Oklahoma!”, “West Side Story”, “Sweet Charity” e “The Producers”, respectivamente. Além disso, discorremos sobre a adaptação das coreografias do Teatro Musical da Broadway para o Filme Musical de Hollywood, visto que todos estes espetáculos tiveram as suas versões cinematográficas criadas pelos próprios coreógrafos. Palavras-chave Teatro Musical; Coreografia; Coreógrafos, Diretores-coreógrafos; Dança; Filme Musical. v Abstract This research aims to trace a historical panorama of the Musical Theatre presenting the paths taken by the choreography. Analyzing the musical trajectory, we noticed the evolution of dance, which in recent years has become a dramatic element inside the shows. In this context, we notice that one of the essential factors for this to appear was the emergence and evolution of the director-choreographers. Thus, looking at the biographies of choreographers Agnes de Mille, Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse and Susan Stroman, we analyze their musicals: "Oklahoma!", "West Side Story", "Sweet Charity" and "The Producers", respectively. In addition, we expatiated about the adaptation of the Broadway Musical Theater choreographies to the Hollywood Musical Film, since all of these shows had their cinematographic versions created by the respective choreographers.

No início de 2011, eu tinha acabado de me mudar para o Rio de Janeiro/Brasil para estudar Artes Cênicas na Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) e tinha estreado no Teatro Oi Casa Grande o musical “Um Violinista no Telhado” (“Fiddler on the Roof”, de Jerry Bock e Sheldon Harnick). Era a versão brasileira com direção de Charles Möeller e Cláudio Botelho. Daquele dia em diante, eu sempre soube que queria trabalhar com teatro musical. De lá para cá, alguns anos se passaram, assisti diversos espetáculos musicais no Brasil, na Inglaterra e também em Portugal. Participei de alguns musicais como atriz e outros como integrante da produção (“O Mambembe”, do Projeto Unirio Teatro Musicado, em que fui estagiária de produção e “Tra-la-lá”, em que fui assistente de produção). No Rio de Janeiro, terminei minha graduação em Artes Cênicas (Interpretação) na UNIRIO, fiz alguns cursos sobre teatro musical no Centro de Estudos e Formação em Teatro Musical (CEFTEM), assim como fiz a pós-graduação em Preparação Corporal para as Artes Cênicas na Faculdade Angel Vianna (FAV). Minha monografia naquela ocasião foi sobre a preparação corporal e a direção de movimento do “Tra-la-lá”1 e foi intitulada: A preparação corporal no teatro musical infantil: a experiência do espetáculo

For Bialystock, in Mel Brooks's current hit musical, the assured failure of his show, ''Springtime for Hitler,'' is dependent on securing the services of a director named Roger De Bris. ''Is he good?'' inquires Bialystock's ingenuous partner, Leo Bloom, as they head for a rendezvous with De Bris. ''I mean, is he bad?'' ''He stinks,'' Bialystock replies. Shortly thereafter, Bialystock imploringly informs De Bris: ''Roger, I speak for Mr. Bloom and myself when I say that you are the only man in the world who can do justice to 'Springtime for Hitler.' '' For Mr. Brooks, assuring the successful transformation of his 1968 film ''The Producers'' into a Broadway musical required at least one similarly baldfaced overture. ''Two and a half years ago, my husband, Mike Ockrent, and I got a call saying Mel Brooks wanted to meet us,'' Susan Stroman said recently.

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.
