Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By
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.

NEI _ 03 - - c-b)1,fiz, , JC, PLO BROOKLYN FOR GOLDEN 81== BROADWAY TO BROOKLYN A Tribute in Honor of Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden presented by The Brooklyn for Golden '81 Committee March 30, 1981 8:00pm Opera House The Brooklyn Academy of Music _V_ BROOKLYN FOR GOLDEN '81 Borough President Howard Golden Howard Golden was sworn in as the 16th President of the Borough of Brooklyn on January 3, 1977. He was elected by the people of Brooklyn to a full four-year term on November 8, 1977. As Borough President, Mr. Golden has made economic development and neighborhood preser- vation his top priorities. During his tenure, Brooklyn's industrial and commercial sectors have undergone significant revitalization, and the renaissance of its neighborhoods and housing has ex- panded into every area of the Borough. Throughout his career, Mr. Golden has been an outspoken critic of all public policies which deny Brooklyn its rightful share of funding, services and development opportunities. Mr. Golden has also been a forceful advocate of tourism and cultural activities in the Borough. Through his initiative, the highly-acclaimed "Meet Me In Brooklyn" Travel Guide was produced , and distributed worldwide. His sponsorship of the "Celebrate Brooklyn" performing arts series and other cultural events has brought the Borough new recognition as a source of stimulating and diverse entertainment for both audiences and performers. Mr. Golden has long championed the cause of Brooklyn's older citizens, and has worked closely with local and Borough-wide groups to provide funding for programs for the elderly. This spring, he will sponsor a conference on the problems of the elderly prior to the White House Conference on the Aging.
