Item Description
Town Hall Theatre in Middlebury, VT presents:
A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN MUSICAL
By Douglas Anderson
Doug expands on a class he has taught at colleges and universities, using contemporary technology to bring you actual footage of great moments in musical theater. On THT’s big screen you’ll see historic performers such as Al Jolson, Fanny Brice, Ethel Merman, and Julie Andrews, as well as complete musical numbers from decades of Broadway hits, with Doug’s expert commentary to put it all into perspective. Doug also teaches part of each class from the piano, with guest performers singing songs from important musicals. Each session will be a wildly entertaining evening, while also touching on the American musical’s engagement with sex, race and politics.
Each session will last approximately 90 minutes.
Bar and refreshments will be available.
