BWW Review: THE IMPACT OF SHUFFLE ALONG at The Musical Theater Project And Karamu
Musical theater and Broadway have been changed by some specific shows. Included are 'Oklahoma!,' the first book musical, 'Hair,' and its strong political/anti-war presence, 'Chorus Line,' with its emphasis on dance, and 'Rent' and its millennium theme. Another show, which tends not to be as commonly known, is 'Shuffle Along.'
