  • South Pacific
    THE MUSICO-DRAMATIC EVOLUTION OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN’S SOUTH PACIFIC DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James A. Lovensheimer, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Arved Ashby, Adviser Professor Charles M. Atkinson ________________________ Adviser Professor Lois Rosow School of Music Graduate Program ABSTRACT Since its opening in 1949, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Pulitzer Prize- winning musical South Pacific has been regarded as a masterpiece of the genre. Frequently revived, filmed for commercial release in 1958, and filmed again for television in 2000, it has reached audiences in the millions. It is based on selected stories from James A. Michener’s book, Tales of the South Pacific, also a Pulitzer Prize winner; the plots of these stories, and the musical, explore ethnic and cutural prejudice, a theme whose treatment underwent changes during the musical’s evolution. This study concerns the musico-dramatic evolution of South Pacific, a previously unexplored process revealing the collaborative interaction of two masters at the peak of their creative powers. It also demonstrates the authors’ gradual softening of the show’s social commentary. The structural changes, observable through sketches found in the papers of Rodgers and Hammerstein, show how the team developed their characterizations through musical styles, making changes that often indicate changes in characters’ psychological states; they also reveal changing approaches to the musicalization of the novel. Studying these changes provides intimate and, occasionally, unexpected insights into Rodgers and Hammerstein’s creative methods.

  • William A. Brady: Theatre Entrepreneur
    WILLIAM A. BRADY: THEATRE ENTREPRENEUR By NEVIS EZELLE HAGLER, JR, A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1975 *J^-J UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 5185 3 1262 08552 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express rny appreciation to the research staff and director of the Theatre Collection at the Lincoln Center Library of the Performing Arts and to Mr. Louis Rachow, of the Players Club, for their valuable assistance and guidance. Special appreciation is extended to two of the theatre's most gracious actresses, Miss Helen Kayes and Miss Madge Kennedy, for their recollec- tions, assistance, and time. My gratitude is also ex- tended to Dr. Richard L. Green, Dr. Clyde G. Sumpter, Dr. Sidney Homan, and Dr. Norman Markel, for their aid in reading the study and offering valuable criticism, A special note of appreciation is due Dr. L. L. Zimmerman, the chairman of this work, for his encourage- ment, criticism, and, most importantly, for his friendship, PREFACE During his lifetime, William A. Brady was one of the most active and successful producers in the American theatre. Since his death, in 1950, his reputation has faded into relative obscurity. No study of his career has been made, and he is mentioned only briefly and with- out regularity in works dealing with the American theatre of the first half of the twentieth century. This study will examine his life and career as a theatrical producer in order to demonstrate the ways in which Brady's career exemplified certain aspects of the early twentieth century American theatre.
