About This Course

In this course, we explore the careers of two of the most successful producer/directors in theater history, George Abbott and his protégé, Hal Prince. We feature great songs from the hit Broadway shows of Jerry Herman, Marvin Hamlisch and Alan Menken. We also review the careers of two theater legends, Liza Minnelli and Nathan Lane, as well as a look at the history of the Juke Box Musicals that are currently so popular. If you like music from Broadway shows and movies like West Side Story, Phantom of the Opera, A Chorus Line, and Hello Dolly, you’ll enjoy this look at these musical legends of stage and screen.
