  • The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance
    Gordon 1 Jessica Gordon 29 March 2010 Honors Thesis Everything was Beautiful at the Ballet: The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance During the mid-1860s, a ballet troupe from Paris was brought to the Academy of Music in lower Manhattan. Before the company’s first performance, however, the theatre in which they were to dance was destroyed in a fire. Nearby, producer William Wheatley was preparing to begin performances of The Black Crook, a melodrama with music by Charles M. Barras. Seeing an opportunity, Wheatley conceived the idea to combine his play and the displaced dance company, mixing drama and spectacle on one stage. On September 12, 1866, The Black Crook opened at Niblo’s Gardens and was an immediate sensation. Wheatley had unknowingly created a new American art form that would become a tradition for years to come. Since the first performance of The Black Crook, dance has played an important role in musical theatre. From the dream ballet in Oklahoma to the “Dance at the Gym” in West Side Story to modern shows such as Movin’ Out, dance has helped tell stories and engage audiences throughout musical theatre history. Dance has not always been as integrated in musicals as it tends to be today. I plan to examine the moments in history during which the role of dance on the Broadway stage changed and how those changes affected the manner in which dance is used on stage today. Additionally, I will discuss the important choreographers who have helped develop the musical theatre dance styles and traditions. As previously mentioned, theatrical dance in America began with the integration of European classical ballet and American melodrama.

  • Program Notes
    “Come on along, you can’t go wrong Kicking the clouds away!” Broadway was booming in the 1920s with the energy of youth and new ideas roaring across the nation. In New York City, immigrants such as George Gershwin were infusing American music with their own indigenous traditions. The melting pot was cooking up a completely new sound and jazz was a key ingredient. At the time, radio and the phonograph weren’t widely available; sheet music and live performances remained the popular ways to enjoy the latest hits. In fact, New York City’s Tin Pan Alley was overflowing with "song pluggers" like George Gershwin who demonstrated new tunes to promote the sale of sheet music. George and his brother Ira Gershwin composed music and lyrics for the 1927 Broadway musical Funny Face. It was the second musical they had written as a vehicle for Fred and Adele Astaire. As such, Funny Face enabled the tap-dancing duo to feature new and well-loved routines. During a number entitled “High Hat,” Fred sported evening clothes and a top hat while tapping in front of an enormous male chorus. The image of Fred during that song became iconic and versions of the routine appeared in later years. The unforgettable score featured such gems as “’S Wonderful,” “My One And Only,” “He Loves and She Loves,” and “The Babbitt and the Bromide.” The plot concerned a girl named Frankie (Adele Astaire), who persuaded her boyfriend Peter (Allen Kearns) to help retrieve her stolen diary from Jimmie Reeve (Fred Astaire). However, Peter pilfered a piece of jewelry and a wild chase ensued.

    For 200 million years the Dinosaurs ruled the earth Now, they’re back to roam the arenas of America in an extraordinary new theatrical production WALKING WITH DINOSAURS The Live Experience Based on the award-winning BBC Television Series WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience comes to North America on a two-year tour September 30, 2007 --- Dinosaurs return to the earth in a live theatrical arena show, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience , based on the award-winning BBC Television Series. After playing for ten sold-out weeks in five cities in Australia, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience is now on tour in North America for two years. 350,000 Americans have already seen the production since it opened in July 2007. WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience is brought to North America by Immersion Edutainment , headed by Bruce Mactaggart. Mactaggart said, “The BBC Series was a brilliant blend of special effects, escapism, excitement and information. Our show has that -- and it’s live. In this show, fifteen roaring, snarling “live” dinosaurs mesmerize the audience – and are as awe-inspiring as when they first walked on earth.” Mactaggart continued, “This is a show that could only fit in arenas – as the creatures are so absolutely immense in size. Audiences seated in the lower seats are all but overwhelmed by the dinosaurs, while those seated in higher seats can view the entire spectacle and panorama of the production. It is the closest you’ll ever get to experiencing what it was like when they walked and ruled the earth.” For more information, please visit www.dinosaurlive.com .

  • Tommy Tune Still Dancing to Those Fascinating Rhythms
    PRESENTED BY RETURN TO TOMMY TUNE STILL DANCING TO THOSE FASCINATING RHYTHMS HEDY WEISS on July 29, 2015 Tommy Tune will be the headliner in the Chicago Human Rhythm Project's 25th anniversary Jubalee celebration on July 30. When Tommy Tune – the dancer, actor, singer, choreographer, theater director and producer was awarded his 10th Tony Award in June – a Special Tony for Lifetime Achievement in the Theater – he playfully quipped: “Right now I’m thinking of Texas in the 1950s. You see, my father’s great dream for me was the same as every Texas father’s dream for their first born son – they wanted us all to leave Texas, go to New York, and dance in the chorus of a Broadway show. And I did it, and I loved every single time step.” The man who, early in his career, would tell directors who asked him his height that he was “5 feet 17 and 1/2 inches tall,” continues to love performing, and to work hard at it. In fact, when we chatted earlier this week by phone he had just gotten out of rehearsal for “Taps, Tunes and Tall Tales,” the one-man show he will perform as the headliner at Chicago Human Rhythm Project’s 25th anniversary Jubalee Gala, to be held July 30 at the Museum of Contemporary Art. “I was born to rehearse,” said ever-fleet Tune, now 76, who will receive yet another tribute at the gala – CHRP’s 25th Anniversary JUBA! Award for Extraordinary Lifetime Achievement. “My knees and hips are okay, and no one has said ‘Stop’.” According to the performer, “Taps, Tunes and Tall Tales” is “an autobiographical stroll celebrating 50-plus years of big-time showmanship,” and, since its debut in 2008, it has been in a constant state of revision (“I keep adding and subtracting”).
