HOLLYWOOD SINGING & DANCING DVD

Hollywood Singing and Dancing - A Musical History

is a compelling summary of some of the greatest moments

in movie musicals. It is a fun-filled exploration of the history

of musical movies, and begins with Busby Berkeley’s

exquisite black and white choreographed extravaganzas

that lightened the dark days of the Depression, continues

through the rousing wartime songfests of the forties, into

the heyday of the great MGM spectaculars, and on to

the present day with recent smash hits like CHICAGO and

extracts from DREAMGIRLS.

The programme showcases extraordinary movie clips

featuring the best tunes and choreography ever

produced, rarely seen behind the scenes footage, and

new interviews with LIZA MINNELLI, SHIRLEY McLAIN,

MICKEY ROONEY, RITA MORENO, DEBBIE REYNOLDS, LESLIE

CARON, JANE RUSSELL, TAB HUNTER, JOEL GREY, directors

like BILL CONDON (Dreamgirls) and ROB MARSHALL

(Chicago) among many others.

TOTAL RUNNING TIME 107 MINUTES

 

LITTLE BOOK OF MUSICALS

British musicals have been wowing audiences since the

1700s. They have the power to produce tears of sadness

and joy, to enrapture audiences with spellbinding songs

and treat them to the most spectacular and magical moments

ever to be seen on stage.

This lovingly crafted book explores the history, the drama

and the story behind our most famous shows, ranging

from the longest running, such as Phantom of the Opera,

to one of the most financially successful, Les Miserables,

and those that will always be remembered for their most

unusual format, such as Cats.

Author Janey Fletcher has cherry picked 50 of the most

popular musicals ever to grace the West End, those which

have had the power to capture the imagination of the

audiences of their day and become legendary events in

the history of theatre.
