Musicals: Strife, Low Life and High Society

Join David Price on a Wednesday 10.15-12.15pm

for this enthralling

10 week course for just £90.00

Course Starts 21st May

This course combines both history and music as we journey through history looking at musicals, including Fiddler on the Roof, Guys and Dolls, Chicago, Singin' in the Rain, Gypsy, Miss Saigon and others. Also covered will be musicals focused on the history behind industrial issues - there are a surprising number of these! We'll examine political, cultural and social issues that form the basis of the plots and how the historical contexts in which they were written have often affected views of history portrayed in the shows themselves. We will also consider in particular the life and career of Cole Porter, whose background and lifestyle contrasted markedly with those of the mainly Jewish composers and writers behind some of the best-known musicals. With film clips and musical extracts.
