The Sherriff Talks - Over The Rainbow: The Hollywood Musical

Three Talks on the History of Musicals and How They came to Steal the Show!
These three Talks will explore the history, highlights and occasional lowlights of one of the three great exponents of musical theatre – Broadway, Hollywood & The West End, with each one starting from the slightly contentious viewpoint that there’s no such thing as musical theatre or that anyone who claims they don’t like musicals is wrong!

Over The Rainbow: The Hollywood Musical
The story of how the gimmick of ‘sound’ created the most popular genre in the history of the Silver Screen.
