THETR-260 Broadway Musicals
This is a survey of American musical theatre from its roots in the mid-19th century to the present. It provides students with the analytical tools, historical insight, and cultural context to increase their appreciation of Broadway's most influential musicals and the artists who created them. The course also provides a critical examination of the ways musicals both reflected the racial, ethnic, and gender stereotyping of its day while trailblazing a more progressive and enlightened view of these identities.
