OLLI Talks: Broadway Showstoppers with Glenn Rosenblum (ONLINE)
OSHR 3360In Glenn's upbringing, the world was changing, and art was changing with it. Glenn will dissect some of the musicals from the '60s and '70s that took major leaps from classic musical theatre into more challenging subject matter. We learn that, in breaking the normative barriers of Broadway, we were given some of the best show-stopping numbers of our time.
