| Title | Topics in Drama: The Curious Aesthetics of Musical Theatre |
| Description | This course will look at the phenomenon of musical theatre, analyzing musicals as both texts and performances. We will use a variety of critical methods to address a number of related questions, including: how do musicals work on audiences? What kinds of cultural work do musicals do? How can we account for the current resurgence in movie musicals? What about the experience and form of musical theatre, the friction or fusion of song, dance, and script, makes it enduringly popular? |
