Fly With Me (musical)
''Fly with Me'' is a musical written by Rodgers and Hart for the 1920 Varsity Show at Columbia University. The book was by Milton Kroopf and Phillip Leavitt, adapted by Lorenz Hart. Lyrics were by Hart, and music by Richard Rodgers, with additional lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and choreography by Herbert Fields. Premiering only 18 days after their first musical, ''You'd Be Surprised'', ''Fly with Me'' was the second collaboration between Rodgers and Hart, and incidentally the first work on which Rodgers and Hammerstein cooperated. It was one of the only collaborations between all three men. Background When Rodgers and Hart originally submitted ''Fly with Me'' to the Varsity Show judging committee, the book was rejected, so the songs were adapted to the entry submitted by Kroopf and Leavitt. Hammerstein, a recent graduate who was on the committee, later added two of his own songs, "There's Always Room for One More" and "Weaknesses". Plot Written during the first Red Scar ...

Fly With Me Poster
Flies are insects of the order Diptera, the name being derived from the Greek δι- ''di-'' "two", and πτερόν ''pteron'' "wing". Insects of this order use only a single pair of wings to fly, the hindwings having evolved into advanced mechanosensory organs known as halteres, which act as high-speed sensors of rotational movement and allow dipterans to perform advanced aerobatics. Diptera is a large order containing an estimated 1,000,000 species including horse-flies, crane flies, hoverflies and others, although only about 125,000 species have been described. Flies have a mobile head, with a pair of large compound eyes, and mouthparts designed for piercing and sucking (mosquitoes, black flies and robber flies), or for lapping and sucking in the other groups. Their wing arrangement gives them great maneuverability in flight, and claws and pads on their feet enable them to cling to smooth surfaces. Flies undergo complete metamorphosis; the eggs are often laid on the la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Musical Theatre
Musical theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue, movement and other elements. Since the early 20th century, musical theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, musicals. Although music has been a part of dramatic presentations since ancient times, modern Western musical theatre emerged during the 19th century, with many structural elements established by the works of Gilbert and Sullivan in Britain and those of Harrigan and Hart in America.
