Ethan Mordden has been hailed as "a sharp-eared listener and a discerning critic," by Opera News, which compares his books to "dinner with a knowledgeable, garrulous companion." The "preeminent historian of the American musical" (New York Times), he "brings boundless energy and enthusiasm buttressed by an arsenal of smart anecdotes" (Wall Street Journal). Now Mordden offers an entirely fresh and infectiously delightful history of American musical theatre.Anything Goes stages a grand revue of the musical from the 1700s through to the present day, narrated in Mordden's famously witty, scholarly, and conversational style. He places us in a bare rehearsal room as the cast of Oklahoma! changes history by psychoanalyzing the plot in the greatest of the musical's many Dream Ballets. And he gives us tickets for orchestra seats on opening night-raising the curtain on the pleasures of Victor Herbert's The Red Mill and the thrill of Porgy and Bess. Mordden examines the music, of course, but also more neglected elements. Dance was once considered as crucial as song; he follows it from the nineteenth century's zany hoofing to tap "combinations" of the 1920s, from the injection of ballet and modern dance in the 1930s and '40s to the innovations of Bob Fosse. He also explores the changing structure of musical comedy and operetta, and the evolution of the role of the star. Fred Stone, the avuncular Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, seldom varied his acting from part to part; but the versatile Ethel Merman turned the headlining role inside out in Gypsy, playing a character who was selfish, fierce, and destructive.From "ballad opera" to burlesque, from Fiddler on the Roof to Rent, the history and lore of the musical unfolds here in a performance worthy of a standing ovation. 42nd Street - American Tony Awards - tap dance musical fredsgr/ American Tony Awards for Musical and ChoreographyThis is the story of hard work being in the right place at the right time talent Matilda The Musical tickets Theatre People Find theatre tickets for Matilda The Musical at TheatrePeoplecom Great offers discounts and packages available online today along with seating plans reviews and Facts & Trivia - History from the Tony Awards - TonyAwards The American Theatre Wing's Tony Awards salute excellence in Broadway theatre Presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing The biggest talents in Mac-Haydn Theatre New York State's Musical Theatre in the Round AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATRE: AN INTRODUCTION IT took many years for the American musical theatre to acquire its own identity The first musical production in the Colonies was Flora a performance that took place Ella Fitzgerald: Anything Goes (Porter 1934 - YouTube This 1956 recording features Ella singing "Anything Goes" written in 1934 by Cole Porter for his musical by the same name Since its 1934 debut at the Wilsonville High School Theatre Department Wilsonville High School Theatre Students Win State Competition Category Wilsonville High School attended the State Thespian Competition in Salem Oregon from April 6 Anything Goes (Cole Porter song) - Wikipedia "Anything Goes" is a song written by Cole Porter for his musical Anything Goes (1934) Many of the lyrics feature humorous but dated references to various figures of Home Royal City Musical Theatre Royal City Musical Theatre is located in New Westminster Canada American Idiot (musical) - Wikipedia American Idiot is a sung-through stage adaptation of punk rock band Green Day's rock opera American Idiot After a run at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2009 the
