  • 1.  "Raise your skirts and bob your hair"

    Posted 02-25-2020 13:03
    Since it is 2020, I want to teach a musical theatre unit on the musicals of the 20s. Looking for musical theatre lesson ideas for 1920's musicals and musicals set in the 20s. Also thinking about the make-up, costumes, as well as the dance styles and music. If there is anything that you can share (i.e. worksheets, Powerpoints, etc.)- I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

    The two that leap immediately to mind are The Boyfriend and The Drowsy Chaperone.  Both are a lot of fun.

    Here are a couple of other possibilities Anything Goes and Dames at Sea  (both would be the end of the twenties into 1930
