3 credit hours
Prerequisites: sophomore standing or consent of instructor.
This course presents a general survey, history and analysis of that great American phenomenon - the musical comedy, musical play, or simply, the musical - from “The Black Crook” through vaudeville to the present. The role of such dramatic/musical works in our culture has been evident and pervasive. The course will focus on the accomplishments, purposes and styles of the makers of this art form: the composers and lyricists, the performers, and the directors and choreographers.
