Anatomy of a Musical: Part 2

The Broadway musical is one of the few indigenous American art forms. Come explore a diverse collection of productions as we survey video recordings of live stage
performances. Critical discussion of the performances will be conducted after each viewing. In session one, we’ll examine the seldom seen or produced Sondheim opus, Pacific Overtures with class commentary and discussion. In session two, we’ll view the re-working of the Gershwins’ Girl Crazy into Crazy for You with discussion after. Session three will include video of the stage version of Victor/Victoria starring Julie Andrews. We will see the 2015 production of Gypsy starring Imelda Staunton, who most recently portrayed Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix’s The Crown.
