BROADWAY MUSICALS OF THE 1940s AND ’50s
 When Oklahoma! opened in March 1943, it exploded on wartime America like an unexpected fire-cracker, lighting up Broadway and ushering in a new era of music theatre that would flourish for a long time to come.
In his lectures on May 8 and 15, John Allen will explore the history of this uniquely American theatrical phenomenon as it developed during the 1940s and 1950s. These two decades saw the emergence of such creative teams as Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein, Alan Jay Lerner & Frederick Loewe, and Richard Adler & Jerry Ross. It also welcomed the innovative creations of newcomers Leonard Bernstein, Frank Loesser, Jule Styne, Harold Arlen, Meredith Willson and Jerry Bock as well as late career masterpieces from the pens of veterans Irving Berlin and Cole Porter.
John’s lectures will be illustrated by recorded excerpts from the shows featured.
