While many think of the Great American Songbook as individual, classic, popular songs created between 1920-1960, teams of collaborators produced innovative and appealing musical theater productions that are the backbone of the American Songbook.

This class examines the evolution of Broadway musicals, whose themes introduce a variety of cultural settings and unique dramatic styles.
