Lights Up On Broadway!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>

Your choice of a 60 minute or 90 minute\npresentation covering the history of\nthe Broadway musical given by\nBroadway actor, Jamie Jackson, (5 Broadway shows including Sweeney Todd<\/i> with Josh Groban, The Last Ship<\/i> with Sting, and Wicked<\/i>) accompanied by off-Broadway composer (I Spy a Spy<\/i>), SoHee Youn.\n

\n\n\nBroadway musicals are a multi-million dollar, international form of entertainment that have been enjoyed on every continent\n(except Antarctica!) for nearly\na hundred years. But how many know the history of this uniquely American art form?

Jamie Jackson and SoHee Youn introduce audiences to\nthe production that marked the birth of true musical theatre,\nOscar Hammerstein and Jerome Kern\u2019s Showboat<\/i>.\n\nThey then explore the Golden Age of musicals with\nshows like Oklahoma, My Fair Lady<\/i> and West Side Story<\/i>,\non through the edgier work of Stephen Sondheim,\nSweeney Todd, Company.<\/i>\n\nThey move into the rock musicals of the 70\u2019s like\nJesus Christ Superstar,<\/i> and Hair<\/i> then\nthe British megamusicals like Cats<\/i> and\nLes Miserables<\/i>, ending with the most current hits\non Broadway, Wicked, Lion King<\/i> and Hamilton<\/i>.

Jackson and Youn don\u2019t just present academic lectures, however. We perform songs from the most famous shows to give audiences an understanding of how writers and composers moved the art form forward.\n\nAudiences walk away not just with greater insight into this favorite American art form, but also having been entertained by Broadway quality performers. We even encourage sing-alongs with the most well-known songs.\n\nJackson and Youn provide educational presentations at their entertaining best.
