Cíle předmětu
One of the most esteemed awards for theatre in the United States, is the Pultizer Prize for Drama. It is intended, each year, to honor a new American play which meets the highest standards of literature. Because of the literary focus of the award, musicals have rarely been honored with the Pulitzer. In its 100 year history only 9 musicals have been recipients of the prize. By unusual coincidence, this has occurred once every decade --no more, no less-- since the 1930s. As such, those few musicals that have received the Pulitzer Prize trace the evolution of the American musical theatre as a performing arts form, the changing tastes of the American audience and how the musical has matured as a literary entity and source of social commentary over the last 90 years. This course will explore the nine shows that have been recognized for their literary excellence, their relationship to each other and the historic impact they have had on the American theatre. These plays include "Of Thee I Sing," "South Pacific," "Fiorello!", "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," "A Chorus Line," "Sunday in the Park with George," "Rent," "Next to Normal," and the now iconic "Hamilton." Each show will have an entire class dedicated to it for lecture and discussion. All of them will be made available for student reading assignments and almost all will be available for viewing.
