B9. Great Jewish Musicals on Broadway

Broadway musicals have been recognized as one of the truly great and uniquely American art forms. No single group has made greater contributions in this sphere than a small but very talented group of Jewish composers, lyricists, writers, directors, producers, and actors. In this course, we will closely examine the background of, and hear much of the music from, five of the greatest and most significant Broadway musicals of the past century, all written by, performed in, and often produced by great Jewish performers.
