SUMMARY:South Pacific - A Multimedia Presentation on South Pacific
DESCRIPTION:South Pacific is one of the greatest works of musical theater ever created. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s masterpiece combines a unique and fascinating story of American nurses and GI on a remote island during World War II with an unforgettable score and powerful lyrics. Add in great costumes\, a beautiful set\, and fabulous staging\, and something amazing evolves right in front of the audience’s eyes. This multimedia presentation on South Pacific will help you more fully appreciate this work of genius. \nHowever\, South Pacific is more than just a wonderful musical. The story is powerful as it launches a broadside against racism in America. Like Hamilton\, this is a work of genius that transcends musical theater expectations and attempts to influence the political discussion in the country. South Pacific is romantic\, suspenseful\, and often very funny. At its core\, this was a personal statement against racism and prejudice by its extraordinary creators. Click here to read why this story was personal for Oscar Hammerstein II. Two different characters\, both white Americans\, realize that their love for non-white Asian people dooms any chance of returning to a bigoted America in the 1940s. Beloved by critics and the audience\, the show was nonetheless divisive and controversial with some conservatives! This multimedia presentation on South Pacific will reveal its authors’ motivations and intent. \nThis multimedia presentation traces South Pacific’s backstory\, beginning with author John O’Hara’s wartime experiences and brilliant book of short stories that became the basis for the musical. \nWe will look at excerpts from the stage musical and film versions to explore the history and impact of a Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece of the Broadway stage. Come for the music and stay for the amazing story! \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.

SUMMARY:The King And I
DESCRIPTION:“The King and I ” is one of the most beloved musicals of all time. The gorgeous music\, sumptuous sets\, phenomenal costumes\, and a fascinating storyline all combine to make The King and I a musical that has had decades of popularity on the Broadway stage and as a major movie musical. The most recent Broadway revival\, stage to perfection by Lincoln Center and pictured above\, was a critical and popular smash.It won the Tony Award for Best Revival Of A Musical. This is the revival that is coming to the Broadway in Chicago series. \nIn this unique\, brand new multimedia presentation\, we will look at the true story behind “The King and I.”  There actually was a British schoolteacher named Anna Owens who went to Siam (as it was then called) in the mid-1800s to teach the children of the King.  As you will see\, the Broadway and Hollywood musical versions take great liberties with the true story. While we love the music\, costumes\, songs\, and sets\, “The King and I” is actually banned and despised throughout Thailand today! We will look at all of that and so much more\, including clips from all the different movie versions of the story. This is a presentation you simply will not want to miss! \nWe will trace the Broadway productions\, featuring the glorious revival which appeared at Broadway in Chicago. \nBonus!!!!  Click here to read about the real-life Anna! \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or if you feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free\, I am unemployed but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget! \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.
