Social History and Satire in Musicals

Join David Price on a Thursday for this enthralling

10 week course for just £85.00

this history course is  based on some of the best-known musicals and operettas. Writers of these works often dealt with complex social, political and historical issues while providing an entertaining show with great songs. Show Boat, described as the first true musical, is set segregation in the southern states of America after the abolition of slavery; racial tensions also feature in West Side Story and South Pacific, two of the musicals that represented a major change in the style of musicals in post-Second World War America. The politics and society of Paris in the 19th century form the background to Les Misérables, and other musicals and operettas have also focused on Paris. Also covered in the course is the strange censorship of the Hollywood Production Code and how it affected musicals in particular. With slides and musical excerpts
