  • Musical Films - an Introduction
    SESSION 1 – Musical films - An introduction. STUDENT B - COMPOSITION A musical often opens with a song that shows the tone of the film, introduces some or all the main characters, and shows the set of the film. A musical can be built around 4-6 songs, called tunes, that appear regularly in the film (Porgy and Bess), or consist of a series of songs not musically related (Chicago). Porgy and Bess scene. Musicals dedicate more time to music than to dialogue. Music, and not dialogues, provides emotions. Spoken dialogues are generally introduced between musical numbers, although the use of "sung dialogues" (recitative) is also possible, especially in musicals where there aren’t any spoken dialogues (Les Misérables and Evita). The material for musicals is often original, but many musicals are adapted from novels (Man of La Mancha), plays (Hello, Dolly!), classic legends (Camelot!), historical events (Evita) or films (Hairspray). On the other hand, many familiar musical plays are the basis for musical films (West Side Story). India produces numerous musical films, known as Bollywood musicals, and Japan produces Anime-style musicals. Another recent genre of musicals, called jukebox musicals, uses songs composed by a popular artist or group to form a story – sometimes based on the life of the person/group (Mamma Mia!, using ABBA songs). Camelot. Evita. A Bollywood musical. An Anime musical. SESSION 2 – Porgy and Bess. STUDENT B – PORGY AND BESS CHARACTERISTICS Porgy and Bess tells the story of Porgy, a disabled black man who lived in Catfish Row, a mansion in the black suburbs of Charleston (South Carolina) in the early 1920s.

After the group describes how they assign names to each cat in the tribe, they assemble in preparation to take part in the annual festival of cat-dom...they send out invitations to attend the Jellicle Ball! At the Ball, each cat tries to prove to Old Deuteronomy (the leader of the Jellicle tribe) why he or she deserves to go the Heavyside Layer – a heavenly feline afterlife. Munkustrap, the show’s feline narrator, introduces the cats one by one starting with Jennyanydots. The Rum Tum Tugger, the wild and inconstant Elvis-esque cat, interrupts her presentation with his grand entrance; he feels no obligation to other cats and does as he feels. Following Tugger’s exuberant performance, the old and greying Grizabella makes her way through the group causing the tribe to scatter. The other cats dislike the lowly Grizabella and somberly sing of her sad state. As Grizabella sulks off into the night, the fat and renowned Bustopher Jones sings of his elite status among his fellow cats.

  • Cats Programme Notes Act 1 Saturday July 26Th 2.30Pm Pauline Raw Audio Describer
    Cats Programme notes Act 1 Saturday July 26th 2.30pm Pauline Raw audio describer Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and welcome to this production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, Cats, directed by Trevor Nunn. An eight piece musical ensemble is led by Anthony Gabriele. Act 1 will last for approximately 70 minutes followed by a 20 minute interval. My name is Pauline and I will be describing Act 1 and Act 2 will be described by my colleague Tony and his programme notes will start 5 minutes before curtain up. Since Cats first opened on the West End stage in 1981, it has become one of the world’s best known and best loved musicals, with a plot based on T.S Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats and award-winning music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber; Cats, originally directed by Trevor Nunn, has since been presented in over 20 countries and in about 250 cities, including such diverse destinations as Buenos Aires, Seoul, Helsinki and Singapore. Synopsis The cats are at first suspicious and proud, reluctant to allow an audience into their domain. In “The Naming of Cats”, however, they begin to reveal who they are and that cats have three different names: the one the family uses daily, a more dignified name, and a secret name. It is the contemplation of these secret names that keeps felines deep in thought. Tonight is a special annual night to hold a Jellicle Ball to celebrate who they are and for Old Deuteronomy to select one cat to have an extra life and ascend to the Heaviside layer.
