Fanny Bryce- Fania Borach was born in New York City of 1891 to a jewish Hungarian family. She appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies from 1910 to 1930, and her hit song was tilted "My Man". In this video, she sang "When a Women Loves a Man" from the 1930 film Be Yourself. She was one of the most commercially successful actors in the early to mid 20th century, and she died in Hollywood in 1951.  

Fascinatin' Rhythm-Lady Be Good was an American musical film released in 1941 that starred dancer Eleanor Powell. One of the films most notable scenes was the dream sequence where Powell did a tap dance routine that was followed by Gershwin's hit "Fascinatin' Rhythm" accompanying her dancing. The scene was so popular that it was featured twice in the music documentary, Thats Entertainment! 

Anything Goes-This piece was written by Cole Porter for his musical Anything Goes. The song provides humorous yet dated lyrics on the various figures of scandal and gossip in Depression-era High Society. 

Guys and Dolls-The music and lyrics for this musical were written by Frank Loesser, and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. It premiered on Broadway in 1950, and has run over 1200 shows since its premiere. 

Chicago-Set in Prohibition-Era Chicago, the musical is based on a 1926 play of the same name by reporter Maurine Watkins about criminals and crimes that she reported on. The story is a satire on the corruption and criminal activities that occured in Chicago at this time. The Broadway revival of Chicago holds the record as the longest running American musical in Broadway history. 

42nd Street-The 1980 version of the Broadway musical that was produced by David Merrick and directed by Gower Champion won a Tony Award for the best Musical, and it became a long running hit. The show is a jukebox musical of sorts, and it includes songs like Roman Scandals, Gold Diggers, Go Into Your Dance, etc. 

The Lion King-The musical is based on the Disney animated film in 1994 with music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice along with a musical score composed by Hans Zimmer. In September 2014, The Lion King became the top earning tilte in box office history for theatre, a record that was held previously by Phantom of the Opera. 

 

Summary

Give My Regards to Broadway (1893-1927)-The first episode of the series introduces a handful of fundamental artists, producers, singers, dancers, and playwrights that made Broadway become what it is today. Starting off with Florenz Ziegfeld, the documentary explains how he introduced many of the era's key figures: Fanny Brice, Irving Berlin, George Cohen, and Burt Williams. The episode also features Ziegfeld's masterpiece, "Showboat" and how it was the divider of the era in repertoire of musical theatre. 

 

Syncopated City (1919-1933)-With the advent of The Alcohol Prohibition and the Jazz Age, America began convulsing with energy and change, with diverse cultures and classes hitting the stage on Broadway faster than ever before. Heroines of Broadway like Marilyn Miller began gaining massive popularity with the audiences of New York City, unique talents like Al Jonson and the Marx Brothers rocketed to stardom, and the Gershwin brothers brought hits like "Fascinatin' Rhythm" to the stage.

 

I Got Plenty of Nuttin' (1930-1942)-The dichotomy of musical theatre began emerging when the Great Depression hit America at the end of the 1920s. Productions like Cole Porter's Anything Goes offers as an escape for the low times in America, while others like I Sing of Thee  satirize the American political system. Rodgers and Hart returned to New York to create a set of new shows, while Porter offers Broadway audiences hits such as "You're the Top", Gershwin debuted his masterpiece Porgy and Bess in 1935.

 

Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’ (1943-1960)-Iconic partnerships like Oscar Hammerstein and Richard Rodgers change the face of the Broadway audiences, with record breaking musicals like Oklahoma!, Carousel, and South Pacific. New pioneers like Bernstein, Robbins, Green, collaborated together to produce the masterpiece On The Town. Irving Berlin had major success with new shows like Annie, Get Your Gun, and Cole Porter was able to produce shows like Kiss Me, Kate, Guys and Dolls, and My Fair Lady. Ed Sullivan's TV Show became the most popular method for showcasing important, famous, and trending Broadway hits. 

 

Tradition (1957-1979)-Shows like West Side Story began demanding individuals that had talent in singing, dancing. By the time James Robbin's last original musical, Fiddler on the Roof closed with 3,242 performances in 1972, Broadway was changed forever. There was a whole new ushering of trends in the 70s like Rock n' Roll, the Vietnam War and Civil Rights, which created new and innovative musicals like Hair, which incorporated an entire score of Rock music into the show. By the end of the 1970s, Broadway becomes the centerpiece of a remarkably successful public relations campaign that will lure tourists to New York for years to come.

 

Putting It Together (1980-Present)-Legendary producer Cameron Mackintosh introduced a handful of famous musicals to the Broadway audience, such as Cats, Miss Saigon, The Phantom of the Opera, and Les Miserables which all became international blockbusters. The AIDS crisis began decimating the Broadway scene, and new shows spring up like The Lion King and Rent. After 9/11, Broadway's corporate dominance only grows larger, with shows like Wicked  becoming an instant success to the audiences.  

 

Questions 

1)In the 1890s, New York City became a melting pot, as immigrants from all over the world came to seek their freedom in the city. As ethnic enclaves and neighborhoods were being developed by the foreigners, some took the advantage to showcase their ethnic comedy, dance, and song to the audiences of New York. Also, immigrants eventually adopted characteristics of America and combined that into their own culture to create a new blend of American music. This is why New York City was a perfect place for the development of the Broadway musical; the combination of foreign cultures created a new genre of program music. 

2)Popular performances and shows to see included minstrelsy, which was declining yet still predominant in the early 20th century, revues, which were plotless shows that provided first class performers and design, vaudeville, which was the most popular type of performance were comedians, musicians, and signers would showcase their talent. The roster of who was performing would cycle and change every single week. These types of activities were considered to be part of lowbrow culture, while going to see opera or musical comedy fit under the highbrow spectrum in New York City. 

3)Lyricists were fond of using slang words in Broadway pieces to showcase adult activities or innuendo. For instance, the term "whoopie" was used in the lyrics for a musical that meant sexual play. 

4)During the Great Depression on Broadway, over 5,000 Equity actors and 20,000 desperate theatre artists looking for jobs. The policies of the New Deal, the depression, and the union solidarity were all successful topics for poking at the government in the 1930s. 

5)Most of the literary works that were adapted into musicals have some sort of reoccurring theme or messages in them (in Oliver Twist, when crime is the result of poverty, it completely dehumanizes society; Romeo and Juliet's message is to not let emotions rule your life, etc). Even though that Faust was adapted into an opera, I think it would be really interesting to be adapted as a musical, certain scenes from the story and opera could be taken and be accompanied by songs and dances, for instance, Faust's encounter with Mephistopheles. 

6)Cabaret was an adaptation of the Berlin stories of Christopher Isherwood and a play based on them. The show depicted the Nazi rise to power and the debauchery of Berlin between the wars. In the 1960s when there were protests for the Vietnam war, one of the interviewees mentioned of Nazi enthusiasts and how hate speech was still very strong in America at that time.
