Broadway Musical Word Went out and Once Again Volunteers Stepped Forward to Make the Stage Magic Happen Producer’s note: A few months ago I was asked to produce another musical fund raiser similar to the Woody Guthrie Centennial concert in 2012. Broadway Musical Word went out and once again volunteers stepped forward to make the stage magic happen. With very little on-stage rehearsal time available, the musicians Review had to learn and practise the songs at home. Special kudos to the band as they had to learn all the songs in very little time and were so accommodating to the cast’s needs. My thanks to all the wonderful people who helped make this fundraiser come together. This was a perfect example of community theatre with folks coming from all parts of the Shuswap to share their talents and time. I would also like to thank the Shuswap Theatre Society’s Board of Directors for their support by giving me a free hand in this production. Please note, no picture taking, recording or cell phone use during the performance. About the Shows: An acoustic concert We had several criteria when selecting each show tune; someone presented by Jake Jacobson had to know it well enough to be the lead, it had to be fairly well- and friends as a fund raiser known, sing-along type songs were a high priority and we had to for have fun doing it ! Shuswap Theatre There was no script so the vocalists were encouraged to do the songs the way they wanted to. May 23, 24 & 25th, 2014 Our songs cover about 70 years of musical theatre. As a kid living in NYC, my parents took us to see all the Broadway Musicals. Back then they were all done acoustically (no amplification) so Net proceeds will be used to paint and fix up that is how we are doing it now. I hope you enjoy the show as the outside of the theatre building. much as we have enjoyed producing it.

  • 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.

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.

A long history of stage, film and television musicals are present within popular culture. Musicals can foster STEAM especially in terms of the technical aspects of theatre, cinema and television production. STEAM educators can utilize show tunes and themes to frame lessons as outlined in a number of examples. A description of a high school curriculum integration program provides examples of how school musicals can foster STEAM areas. These musicals illustrate how STEAM instructors can capitalize on musicals with their students. Author/Artist Bio Keith Mason, Ph.D. is an educational consultant based in New Providence, New Jersey. He specializes in curriculum, language education, phonetics, Romance linguistics and musicals across the curriculum.
