Sally In Our Alley (musical)
''Sally in Our Alley'' was a 1902 Broadway musical comedy show. It helped Marie Cahill reach stardom and popularized songs. The title refers to the popular saying that developed from the British song " Sally in Our Alley". The show helped popularize the song " Under the Bamboo Tree". George V. Hobart wrote the musical and its song lyrics. Ludwig Engländer wrote the music for the show. Interpolations of songs by J. Rosamond Johnson, George Walker, and Bert Williams were included in the show. The first performance of the show was delayed a couple days because of a dressing room row that occurred after Irene Bently was assigned a tent rather than a bedroom like Marie Cahill. The show's chorus was photographed and is in the MCNY collection. The photograph is attributed to the Byron Company. Songs in the show included "When It's All Goin' out and Nothin' Comin' in" written by Bert Williams and George Walker as well as "Under the Bamboo Tree" by Rosamond Johnson (music) and Bob Co ...

Musicals Based On Novels
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. These were followed by the numerous Edwardian musical comedies and the musical theatre wor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
