These 30 to 60 minute VHS videos offer sessions
with Broadway's most successful creators and
performers as they explore the impetus and ideas
behind a wide variety of musicals - from classics
of the American theatre to contemporary
masterpieces to sparkling revues. The videos are as
educational as they are inspiring, offering
invaluable inside tips on casting, costumes, set
design, special effects, characterisation and plot.
For example: Assassins - Stephen Sondheim
(music and lyrics) and John Weidman (book) discuss
their compelling creation with original set
designer Loren Sherman. This hour-long video
invites you to study the various elements that make
this surreal comedy flow. The Gershwins On
Broadway - noted entertainer and Gershwin
performer Michael Feinstein introduces three
satirical Gershwin musicals written with George S.
Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind, Strike Up The Band,
Of Thee I Sing and Let 'Em Eat Cake, and
performs a medley of the songs that made the
Gershwins the most dynamic Broadway team of the
'20's and '30's. Funny, historically relevant and
musically enthralling.
The MTI Video Conversationpiece may be ordered for
a postage/handling charge, plus a deposit which is
refundable upon the return of the video.
