Have you ever seen or been to a musical before? There are so many musicals out there I don’t know if it is possible to see them all. The music and storylines of the musicals are all so unique to one another, but at the same time can be similar to one another in various ways. Two musicals I have seen include some of the same characters, but tell two different stories because of the point of view. One of the musicals I just mentioned is Wizard of Oz and the other one is Wicked. The three areas of comparison

Mikado Position Paper “The Mikado” is a comic operetta, in two acts, composed in 1885. It was first performed on stage at the Savoy Theatre, in London. It has been said that this operetta consists of racist comments and stereotyping. After thoroughly researching about “The Mikado,” I have come to the conclusion that “The Mikado” production in Seattle is offensive, due to their choice of portrayal. This operetta intended to satire the British society, not the Japanese people. In my opinion, the

Throughout my entire life I have never had any real interest in musical theatre. One time when I was in about 5th grade, my grandfather took me, my brother and my cousin to a showing of the “Nutcracker.” Let me tell you, I tried my hardest, I really tried, but I couldn’t stay awake for the entire performance. This experience I had put a bad taste in my mouth as for the next several years, I never attended another musical theatre event. One day in the spring, I was going through Golden Bear Advising

A long time ago, in a land far, far away from this land we know, there was a land called Gwyndor, a place where all kinds of life existed. Men, Dwarves, Elves and other creatures lived in this mysterious land. However, Gwyndor was not all a place of peace and prosperity, far off near the borders of the east, there was a land called Azurg, a land where the sun forbid to shine and simply setting foot in the land drains the life right out of you if you were not strong enough. Right in the center of

moments in our lives seem livable. Also important in life is music because it simply allows us to enjoy a moment. A moment that can remain infinite, in a lifetime of finite moments, but only if composed and performed correctly. With music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert the elements of music and humor are effortlessly combined to create a comic opera also known as a savory opera— The Gondoliers (The Gondoliers- Program). The Gondoliers first premiered at the Savoy Theatre on December

Musicals, Not Only a Broadway Phenomenon Being that documentaries and musicals are both a way of addressing concerns happening in the political, economic or social culture of a certain region, it would seem that there would be many documented cases of how documentaries have impacted the American musical. However, not many results seem to surface when searching for this. For the layperson who does a quick search and does not dig deeper into different ways to search, it may seem that there is only

Is Hamilton the Best Musical in Over 40 Years? For many years, people have been watching musicals and plays for most of their teenage to adult life. Most musicals are well known for just their catchy songs, but have you ever seen one with catchy songs, brilliance, and the power to move you in emotional and spiritual ways? Well, Hamilton, a musical written by Lin- Manuel Miranda has all of that and more. Most people would argue that other musicals are better, but where are you going to find one with

A musical theatre production generally consists of drama, music, songs, and dancing. These aspects are what make musical theatre one of the most favored type of drama production. The difference between a play and a musical play is obviously the input of music and how the story is told. In plays, the emotions and actions are showcased through words and movement, but in musical theatre, the content can be expressed through dialogue as well as music and dancing. Musical theatre has quite an extensive

There are just too many musicals to pick from and they each have or had their own way of affecting/changing Broadway. In my opinion, a musical that not only changed what was on stage, but what was outside as well opened on November 13, 1997. The Lion King, still running today on Broadway and on many stages around the world. It laid down the groundwork for the blockbuster era that defines the New Your Theater Industry today. It was the start of the New Broadway. The Lion King a classic Disney tale

Fortunately, they learned about Annie Sullivan, a teacher of the blind, who came to teach and live with seven-year-old Helen. Learning to Communicate Anne Sullivan began by teaching Helen finger spelling, starting with the word "doll," to help Keller understand the gift of a doll she had brought along. Other words would follow. At first, Keller was curious, then defiant, refusing to cooperate with Sullivan's instruction. When Keller did cooperate, Sullivan could tell that she wasn't making the
