Topics in Musical Theatre

Musical Dramaturgy in Musical Theatre discusses the form from the perspective of its most common element: the song. Using a historical approach it surveys how the role of music within a musical theatre structure changed over time, which in turn pushed the function of the score to new dramaturgical levels. 

After introducing the central idea of musical dramaturgy as one which has a pivotal effect on how musicals are constructed, it considers the principles of musical comedy throughout history and the interplay between the score and libretto. Using early European musicals as a case study it moves on to look at the integrated shows of Rogers and Hammerstein and other Golden Age composers who reframe the dramaturgical structures through the book. It continues to trace the history of the form through a chapter on Rock and concept musicals before finally considering how the Jukebox musical introduced the concept of non-narrative dramaturgy thanks to popular songs. 
 
The volume critically reflects on the debates on integration and narration in musical theatre and explores new ways of understanding how musical numbers contribute to the impact and appeal of the stage show. Published in the Topics in Musical Theatre series, it unpacks musical theories in an accessible style that doesn't rely on specialised musicological knowledge, making it perfect for students, scholars, musical fans, and musical creatives.

Musical Dramaturgy in Musical Theatre

Discover John Kander and Fred Ebb, the most artistically and commercially successful musical theatre writing team since Rodgers and Hammerstein, in a brand new way. Identifying the theatrical approach that renders their musical dramaturgy unique, this book explores their importance within, and contribution to, musical theatre history. Through their biggest hits, Cabaret (1966) and Chicago (1975), Kander and Ebb have been performed on the stage more times both within and outside of the USA than any other American musical theatre writers. Unlike Sondheim, whose work from 1964 increasingly aspired towards the avant-garde. Kander and Ebb located their projects in a nexus between art and commercial entertainment, seeking to deconstruct popular forms in order to expose their ideological function. This book investigates the full range of Kander and Ebb's collaboration from the pure comic entertainment of 70, Girls, 70 (1971) and Curtains (2006) to more overtly serious musicals such as The Kiss of the Spiderwoman (1992), The Scottsboro Boys (2010) and The Visit (2014), which were less commercially successful precisely because they addressed disturbing subjects. It explores how the difficult material inspired beautiful, though challenging, scores. It also probes how the ironic counterpointing of luscious music with witty and demotic lyrics makes complex demands of a Broadway audience, challenging its desire for escapist entertainment, devoid of critical self-reflection, to becomes complex, yet popular, masterpieces of the genre. This is the first volume to explicitly analyse the recurrent theatrical tropes and dramaturgical forms in Kander and Ebb's musicals, offering an in-depth introduction to their oeuvre.

What are the barriers to women's participation in live comedy, and how are these barriers maintained in the digital era? In this book, Ellie Tomsett considers how the origins of stand-up comedy still impact on current live comedy production, and explains how the contemporary stand-up scene continues to reflect wider societal stereotypes about the capabilities of women. Using primary data collected from women-only comedy nights and immersive research with the UK Women in Comedy Festival in Manchester, Tomsett analyses examples of stand-up performed by contemporary comedians - including Bridget Christie, Luisa Omielan, Lolly Adefope and Gráinne Maguire - and provocatively questions how these performances relate to conceptions of feminist and postfeminist humour, as well as notions of backlash against contemporary feminisms. She focuses on live comedy that is explicitly feminist to consider how social attitudes to women, the increasing visibility of female labour outside the home, and the emergence of multiple (and sometimes contradictory) feminisms has influenced the comedy produced by women comedians in 21st century Britain.

Ono-isms

The British musical in its formative years has appeared in strikingly different guises: from the lasting hits of Oliver!, and Me and My Girl, to the successes of The Dancing Years, Bless the Bride and Expresso Bongo.
 
This authoritative study traces what made these shows successes in the West End and how their qualities define a uniquely British interpretation of the genre. Cultural, sociological and political influences entwine with close reading of the dramatic and musical elements of this repertory to reveal a fascinating web of connections and contrasts between the times, the shows and the people who made them.

 Through detailed case studies, such as of The Boy Friend and Bitter Sweet, the rich individuality of each West End work is spotlighted, posing vital questions and intriguing answers as to what a British musical can be. Interdisciplinary in nature, this study brings together all the core materials to discover this period in the story of the British musical. Reviewing the Situation is insightful and lively, an invaluable resource for students and scholars of musical theatre and all those theatregoers drawn to the power of these classic British shows.

Reviewing the Situation

If there's one thing that Joanne McNally knows it's that we may have smart phones, Prozac and Prosecco, but we're still just animals trying to survive. And in Femme Feral, she explores the chaos and exhilaration that results from following our basic instincts. Blending stories from her life with wider observations about what it means to be a 'single, unfertilised female in her 30s'. Femme Feral is both hilarious and reassuring, boldly revealing that Joanne knows exactly the BS that most of us grow up with and can never quite escape. Whether it's body image, booze, fashion, dodgy boyfriends, withholding therapists, weak pelvic floors or figuring out how to be enough - this book shows that no woman is out there on her own. Raucously funny and infinitely insightful, Femme Feral is Joanne McNally's dazzling survival manifesto.

LUST, GREED, PRIDE, ENVY...WHATEVER YOUR SIN OF CHOICE, THIS BOOK WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT RIGHT If there's one thing that Joanne McNally knows how to do, it's how to have a good time - and in Seven Deadly Sins, she explores how much fun being bad can be. Using each of the original seven deadly sins as a mirror, she blends stories from her life with wider observations about what it means to be a 'single, unfertilised female in her 30s' living in the modern world. This book is full of everything that the world throws at women with the expectation that they take it in their stride: from observations on celebrity, sex and wine, to stories of being an outcast, facing eating disorders and - yes - being ghosted by your therapist, this book shows that no woman is out there on her own. Raucously funny, relatable and infinitely insightful, Seven Deadly Sins is Joanne McNally's manifesto on womanhood, from an actual human woman, for other human women of every age.
