    By the early 1930’s, the theater and film capital of the United States was separated across the continent. In the Great Depression, artists had to make a choice: stay in New York, where the winters were harsh, and business was sparse, or move to Hollywood; sunny year round, and business and money was everywhere. Which would you choose? It is, of course, a trick question. Movie studios quickly tired to add musicals after The Jazz Singer in 1927, however they lacked the technology to actually make one; the sound was awful and camera movement was minimal. But in 1933, with the production of 42nd Street, Warner Brothers was finally competitive with the Broadway counterparts. Soon after more studios were making their own musicals, such as Paramount, MGM, and RKO.…

    Many of my favorite musicals came out at this time; Phantom of the Opera, Into the Woods, Big River, and Dreamgirls. The showtunes of the 80s were of a huge variety. Broadway began to have something for everyone. With higher technology the orchestra size became smaller, except for Webber shows of course. Many surprising issues were now being shown and actors, even had more passion behind their voice. Broadway was showing issues such as slavery, gender rights, prostitution, and abduction.

    The Screwtape Letters is a satirical book written by C.S. Lewis with the intent to deliver practical lessons on a person’s daily exercise of his or her faith. The book’s overall theme is “God vs. the devil” or “good vs. evil” in the human experience. In the book, two devils – Screwtape, an elder tempter, and Screwtape’s novice nephew Wormwood -- are in a fight to claim as many souls, or ‘patients,’ as they are referred to in the book, and Screwtape advises Wormwood on the particulars of his job through a series of letters to his nephew, which are then “published” as this book. When Luke Johnson says in his essay “Powers and Principalities: The Devil is No Joke” “When Satan’s power is portrayed in terms of individual temptation and seduction rather than systemic evil and social oppression, when the cosmic battle between the angels of Michael and of Satan pictured by Revelation is reduced to “My guardian angel” and a nemesis imp competing for a moral victory…the way is cleared for devil jokes,” (Johnson 3) he captures what Lewis was trying to deliver…the simplistic and overlooked talents of the devil to win the hearts and minds of people. What will be examined today are the lessons presented by C.S. Lewis in the book The Screwtape Letters, the relevancy to Christian life, and the main point of the book in reference to theology.…

    Today I went to the Globe theatre for the first time. The journey there was very entertaining and picturesque, instead of going by ferry as many people usually do I decided to save my money and do a bit of exercise by walking instead across the London Bridge which was also good. As I came by the Globe theatre I passed the pits where bear baiting and cockfightings were taking place. The streets were full of people, some were pushing to get through others were shouting and quite a few were begging.…

    The Broadway in this era realized that the musical themselves can address the social and political issues present. A new genre of rock and roll music became part of the Broadway musical theatre and this started with the musical called “Hair”. The musical had the theme of anti-Vietnam war which was depicted through the songs and the musical contained profanity, portrayal of illegal drugs, nude scenes and depiction of homosexuality which brought up lots of controversy and feedback from the audience. Not only did the musical bring up a lot of controversy but the musical reflected the use of drug usage and the racial problems that was present in America during that era. It took 7 years for rock and roll to come back to the Broadway musical theatre and musicals like “Godspell” and “The Rocky Horror Show” were produced which the genre itself rapidly became really popular after these musicals with rock and roll element came out. Although the genre of rock and roll was popular, the popularity started decreasing in the late 1970’s through the 1980’s. Some of the musicals in this decade had more of an opera concept than musicals which meant that they has little dialogue in acting and a lot of the plot and character conveying was depicted through the music. As the Broadway musical became more popular and expanded, more and more…
