Musicals with a Message with Vic Figurelli
Mondays, 1:00 – 2:00 PM
Georgetown Public Library Hewlett Room
In Person Only
The majority of 1930’s – 1950’s musicals were light-hearted song and dance affairs, sometimes with minimal plots to tie the songs and dances together. But in the late 50s, musicals covering serious subjects emerged, delivering their messages with memorable music. This course will present excerpts from six award-winning musicals whose treatment of serious themes is amplified by their powerful music. Although the emphasis of the class will be on the music, there will be opportunity to discuss the messages these musicals conveyed.
Vic has been a member of Lifelong Learners GTX since 1998. He served on the first operating Board as vice-president and facilities coordinator. He served a total of five years as president in three separate terms. He has presented numerous times for LLGTX, mostly recently “The Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals” and “Beyond the Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals”.
