AMST 172 - Contemp Musical Theatre

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

An appreciation of the corpus of recent Broadway musicals, that, beginning with Stephen Sondheim's Company (1970), brought new aesthetic and intellectual vigor to an art form grown stale on the outmoded formulas of Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Loewe. "Musical comedy" no longer constitutes an appropriate form for these works born of contemporary consciousness and realism, works influenced by some of the most advanced streams of 20th-century artistic thought. Works to be studied include Hair, Pippin, Sweeney Todd, A Chorus Line, Cats, and many others. No previous training in music is required. Enrollment limited. 1.00 units, Lecture
