The Broadway Theatre

ago when music was one of the main important parts of a play. American Musicals allowed actors to express their selves in a way that no one has ever seen before. The evolution of musicals began with the influences of American Expressionism. Musical Theatre has its own very unique art and it has influenced the expansion of the boundless creations one can make with such beautiful art. Along the road it gave birth to the Golden Age, Rock Musicals, and Pop Musicals. Stage Musicals and Film Musicals have

Theatre and Musical Theatre has been a form of entertainment since before North America was “discovered”. Broadway shows have been dated back to the early 1920’s and 1930’s. By 2016, over 25,000 tickets are sold to Broadway shows in a week. Thousands of people enjoy the shows that are featured on Broadway but have no idea the work and process that brought it to life. The process of getting a show on to Broadway can be broken down into three phases: pre-production, staging, and performance/promotion

word rarely conjures pleasant memories, but more often annoyance and stress. However, when someone mentions rent to me, my mind races to some of the most memorable experiences in my life. When I hear the word Rent, I immediately see an eclectic Broadway production, overflowing with talent, adventure, and magic. I picture scantly clad actresses, strutting across the stage. I envision stunning duets and thought-provoking lyrics. That single word transports me to a different time and place. In

My limited experience with Broadway suggests that musical theatre has its own special beauty. However, it is different from that of ballet! Broadway-themed ballets, therefore, are less appealing, and programs focusing on such works--any pragmatic reasons behind them notwithstanding--problematic. The second week of NYCB's Spring Season is not comparable to the first. With such talented performers the "Tribute to Robbins" program (I did not attend "All Robbins No. 1: Bernstein Collaborations”) nevertheless

Today, I still have as much of a love for theatre as my 13-year-old self. Since then, I have seen 29 individual Broadway shows and I have cemented my desire to pursue theatre as a degree in college.

It's written and produced by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Rodgers was also

Attending Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre Of the many theatre experiences that I have had in New York City, by far the most memorable of them was when I was afforded the chance to see the iconic play Wicked with my friends. Having never seen a Broadway show live before, we found that our excursion proved very worthwhile. Though many aspects make up the whole of the wonderful time we spent going to see the show, by far what struck us as the most important were the venue, the service, and the high level

The comic star, who turned 93 just four days before he met his demise, first rose to popularity after making his appearance on the American comedy variety show Texaco Star Theatre, led by Milton Berle, who was then nicknamed as the 'Mr. Television'.
