Episode 3: 1960 - 1970 "Love, It's The New Style"
In this episode, Curtain Call's host, Jamie Corter, explores musicals from the 1960s that have a strong connection with gender. The Golden Age of Broadway continued well into the 1960s and Jamie picked two well-known musicals to analyze: the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, The Sound of Music, and the crowd-favorite, Fiddler on the Roof. While last week Jamie talked about the serious topics of misogyny, feminine transformations, and gender dynamics within a relationship, this week she takes a more progressive look at these two 1960s productions. Join us for the second official decade's episode of Curtain Call!
