FYSM 139 - The Musical Theater of Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

The large body of works by Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber, today's leading Broadway composer/lyricists, explore - from often divergent historical, sociological, cultural, and even anthropomorphic viewpoints, - critical corners of the human condition. In this seminar we will examine, in depth, three works by Sondheim (Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, and Into the Woods) and three by Lloyd Webber (Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, and Cats) to discover and appreciate not only the broad themes but also the suave subtleties of the words, music, and visual production that coalesce in the realization of these remarkable works. We will also, as is practicable, attend performances. 1.00 units, Seminar
