Kaufman Music Center Presents "Broadway Close Up: Broadway's One Hit Wonders"
|
Musical theater is known as the domain of super-talents with strings of hits: Stephen Sondheim, Rodgers and Hammerstein, the Gershwins, etc. Most writers who create one great show go on to create another. But there is a fascinating subset of writers who, for one reason or another, hit it big once and never repeat. Sometimes it's a once-in-a-lifetime idea. Sometimes it's a collaboration that falls apart. Some writers keep trying with diminishing returns, some milk their first big hit for all it's worth, and some walk away to pursue other goals. Of course, some unfortunately pass away too early.
Stories like these are the focus of
Broadway Close UP: Broadway's One-Hit Wonders co-presented by
Kaufman Music Center and
One Day University taking place on Monday, November 14 and Tuesday, November 15 at Merkin Concert Hall. This performance will examine 10 shows -
The Boy Friend, Grease, Hair, Man of La Mancha, The Music Man, Oliver!, Promises, Promises, Rent, 1776 and
The Wiz - to understand what made them great, and why their creators couldn't or didn't repeat.
Visit
kaufmanmusiccenter.org to for more information about Broadway Close UP: Broadway's One-Hit Wonders including ticket prices and specific performers. Kaufman Music Center's Merkin Concert Hall is located at 129 West 67th Street.
