    Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By Elizabeth Sallinger M.M., Duquesne University, 2010 B.A., Pennsylvania State University, 2008 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Paul R. Laird Roberta Freund Schwartz Bryan Kip Haaheim Colin Roust Leslie Bennett Date Defended: 5 December 2016 ii The dissertation committee for Elizabeth Sallinger certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 Chair: Paul R. Laird Date Approved: 5 December 2016 iii Abstract In 1968, the sound of the Broadway pit was forever changed with the rock ensemble that accompanied Hair. The musical backdrop for the show was appropriate for the countercultural subject matter, taking into account the popular genres of the time that were connected with such figures, and marrying them to other musical styles to help support the individual characters. Though popular styles had long been part of Broadway scores, it took more than a decade for rock to become a major influence in the commercial theater. The associations an audience had with rock music outside of a theater affected perception of the plot and characters in new ways and allowed for shows to be marketed toward younger demographics, expanding the audience base. Other shows contemporary to Hair began to include rock music and approaches as well; composers and orchestrators incorporated instruments such as electric guitar, bass, and synthesizer, amplification in the pit, and backup singers as components of their scores.

    James Leve, American Musical Theater. New York: Oxford University Press, 2015. 448 pages. $59.95. ISBN: 9780195379600. E-book available through Redshelf.com. $29.95. eISBN: 9780190643461. Arianne Johnson Quinn, Princeton University ames Leve’s American Musical Theater addresses a considerable gap in musi- cal theater texts and provides an excellent foundational survey for music Jand theater students alike. Intended for use in a one-semester introduction to musical theater, Leve’s text is suitable for teaching at both the undergradu- ate and graduate levels. The task of choosing a representative sampling from the American musical theater repertory is certainly a daunting one and forces an author to favor some works at the risk of neglecting others, but Leve has skillfully chosen works that exemplify the many generic and stylistic innova- tions of the American musical from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries. In so doing, he also introduces students to several forgotten gems by figures whose works are integral to the American musical including Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach, whose works are rarely performed today. The text begins with two introductory chapters that first present an over- view of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! (1943) and a discussion of two important genres that developed in the late nineteenth century, namely, the story-oriented genre of early operetta and the variety-like formats that later developed into Vaudeville. The text then proceeds chronologically through a survey of each decade, before exploring several other integral concepts such as the development of Black musical theater. In his preface, Leve notes that his decision to start with Oklahoma! stems firstly from a desire to focus on the integrated book musical as a defining point in the development of musical the- ater.
