Musical Theatre’s Essentials Ms. Lirette Fall 2014

Structure  Shows since Rogers and Hammerstein Succeed due to their structure Even when the audience doesn’t know it.  Until Show Boat (1927), musicals were mostly revue-style shows  Librettos with stock characters  Cliché situations  Songs and plots not necessarily linked
