Since its emergence on Broadway more than 125 years ago, the Musical, America’s signature art form, has played an important role in reflecting, defining, and shaping America’s culture and view of itself. This hour-long lecture will explore how great American artists from George M. Cohan to Lin-Manuel Miranda have helped to forge our national identity through their work as well as the vital importance of the cultivation, development, and production of new musicals.
