Book excerpt: A musical's primary purpose, many assume, is merely to entertain. However, the musical Urinetown is a satire that touches on the important issues of social and political revolution, capitalist greed, and how environmental catastrophes may affect an entire society. The musical's purpose in this production was to challenge the spectators thinking about these issues. Designing the lighting for the production proved challenging because of the stunning visual imagery the script provided, the movement through several locales, and the absurd blocking challenges the script presented; such as ghosts having to appear instantaneously onstage. The design aesthetic was explored and inspired by Bertolt Brecht's Epic Theatre, which emphasizes that theatre is both entertaining and educational. German Expressionism and Film Noir inspired the shadowy, geometric, and textural design. The mood of human anxiety and the power of capitalism drove the design to a fantastical, dark, and sinister world. The haunted town became the primary character and the characters were symbols of social and political issues. Within the model of Bertolt Brecht's Epic Theatre, Urinetown was successful to the spectators; who were forced to detach from being entertained in order to realize the real and relevant issues the musical presented.

Download or read book Our Musicals Ourselves written by John Bush Jones and published by Brandeis University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-17 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Musicals, Ourselves is the first full-scale social history of the American musical theater from the imported Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas of the late nineteenth century to such recent musicals as The Producers and Urinetown. While many aficionados of the Broadway musical associate it with wonderful, diversionary shows like The Music Man or My Fair Lady, John Bush Jones instead selects musicals for their social relevance and the extent to which they engage, directly or metaphorically, contemporary politics and culture. Organized chronologically, with some liberties taken to keep together similarly themed musicals, Jones examines dozens of Broadway shows from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present that demonstrate numerous links between what played on Broadway and what played on newspapersÕ front pages across our nation. He reviews the productions, lyrics, staging, and casts from the lesser-known early musicals (the ÒgunboatÓ musicals of the Teddy Roosevelt era and the ÒCinderella showsÓ and Òleisure time musicalsÓ of the 1920s) and continues his analysis with better-known shows including Showboat, Porgy and Bess, Oklahoma, South Pacific, West Side Story, Cabaret, Hair, Company, A Chorus Line, and many others. While most examinations of the American musical focus on specific shows or emphasize the development of the musical as an art form, JonesÕs book uses musicals as a way of illuminating broader social and cultural themes of the times. With six appendixes detailing the long-running diversionary musicals and a foreword by Sheldon Harnick, the lyricist of Fiddler on the Roof, JonesÕs comprehensive social history will appeal to both students and fans of Broadway.
