Travis University of Connecticut, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations Recommended Citation Travis, Matthew L., "Hamilton: A Musical Analysis of Ensemble Function" (2017). Doctoral Dissertations. 1399. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1399 University of Connecticut DigitalCommons@UConn Doctoral Dissertations University of Connecticut Graduate School 5-6-2017 Hamilton: A Musical Analysis of Ensemble Function Matthew L. Travis Follow this and additional works at: http://digitalcommons.uconn.edu/dissertations Hamilton: A Musical Analysis of Ensemble Function Matthew Louis Travis, DMA The University of Connecticut, 2017 Abstract There have been exhaustive studies on the presence of chorus in opera, there has been little writing on the musical theater ensemble.1 To date, the only specific piece of academic scholarship on the matter is Joseph DeLorenzo’s 1985 dissertation, The Chorus in American Musical Theater: An Emphasis on Choral Performance. Because there are very few graduate programs in musical theater, and currently none at the doctoral level, there has been little scholarly writing about this art form as a whole and even less scholarship specific to ensemble function completed in the last 30 years. Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda is one of the most successful Broadway productions in recent memory. While the work has gained fame for unparalleled box office success and celebrity appearances; the show is equally significant as a work of art. Almost universally acclaimed by critics, Hamilton has won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, while receiving a record 16 Tony nominations winning 11, winning the George Washington Book Prize and Kennedy Prize for Drama.

A Chorus Line” from Its Beginnings
The Journey of “A Chorus Line” From its Beginnings A Sony Pictures Classics Release Directed By James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo *Official Selection: 2008 Toronto International Film Festival *Official Selection: 2008 Berlin Film Festival *Official Selection: 2009 New Directors/New Films East Coast Publicity West Coast Publicity Distributor IHOP Public Relations Block-Korenbrot PR Sony Pictures Classics Jeff Hill Melody Korenbrot Carmelo Pirrone Jessica Uzzan Jay Waterman Leila Guenancia 853 7th Ave, 3C 110 S. Fairfax Ave, #310 550 Madison Ave New York, NY 10019 Los Angeles, CA 90036 New York, NY 10022 Tel: 212-265-4373 Tel: 323-634-7001 Tel: 212-833-8833 Synopsis EVERY LITTLE STEP explores the incredible journey of A CHORUS LINE from ambitious idea to international phenomenon. It compares and contrasts the original musical with the current revival. It investigates the societies in which they’ve debuted, and why the themes are so timeless and universal. Finally, it goes behind the scenes with exclusive interviews and footage of the revival’s audition process, revealing the dramatic journey of the performers, and unfolding a story of life imitating art. A CHORUS LINE isn’t just another hugely successful Broadway musical—it’s an international phenomenon that has spanned four decades and reached audiences in 22 countries around the world. Through 15 years of continuous performances from the 70s to 90s and a revival beginning last year, A CHORUS LINE has touched generations around the world with stories so poignant, they could only have come from truth. Who would have imagined such an enduring piece of modern culture would arise from middle-of-the-night conversations in a dance studio? The source material of A CHORUS LINE, those dead-of-night conversations, was recorded to audio tapes which have been locked away for decades.
