    We'll miss you. This was such a great series. I learned so much.
    *Sadly, slowly walks off stage singing* We'll meet again... don't know where... don't know when...

    @happychaosofthenorth 5 років тому +453

    With so much more to cover, why make this the last one? Why can't there be another episode (or two) to cover the modern era of Broadway? You even said that there's still so much more to talk about! Yes we need a reprise, and an encore!

    • @timmcdaniel6193
      @timmcdaniel6193 5 років тому +37

      I definitely want to see the reprise. I know little of the topic; what's the significance of Andrew Lloyd Weber, or Sondheim, or other modern shows?

      @@timmcdaniel6193 PBS did a documentary series about this called “Broadway the American Musical”, and it covers Broadway's history from the Ziegfeld Follies all the way up to Hairspray. You're probably going to have to rent it from Netflix and it goes into far more depth than crash course can.

    @josephvitug 5 років тому +41

    We need more of the contemporary book musicals. Perhaps Crash Course Theater 2 with in-depth takes on classic musicals, or examination of the works of Sondheim, Rodgers & Hammerstein as a collection and more!.

  • @HDimagination
    @HDimagination 5 років тому +24

    As an old theatre post-graduate, I watched this waiting for the opportunity to leap into the comments and hit you with an 'Actually...' but that moment never came. This was a great series, and you even managed to teach this out-of practice stage hand a thing or two, and give me a couple of new perspectives on things I thought I knew.
    Bravo.

  • @ArticBlueFox96

    @HeleenvdD 5 років тому +8

    I got strangely emotional during your final soliloquy. I guess the complex history and the passion that all these makers had through time just gets me tight in the feels. THE STAGE! IT'S TOO GOOD! IT CALLS ME!

  • @willmeyer2259
    @willmeyer2259 5 років тому +15

    I'm truly saddened that this is the final episode, it was a wonderful, informative and entertaining series. Well done Mike and everyone who worked on these videos, you've truly helped to reignite my passion for theatre.

  • @lhfirex
    @lhfirex 5 років тому +13

    Hope we can get a 2nd series that talks about musicals into today, awesome contemporary playwrights like Suzan Lori Parks, and, well, an episode just on Angels in America.

    • @MKPiatkowski
      @MKPiatkowski 5 років тому +2

      I would love to talk about contemporary English theatre practices outside the US. Site-specific theatre, interdisciplinary theatre (maybe talk about Lepage?), outdoor theatre (the Aussies are masters at this large scale spectacle), the merging of circus and theatre (Cirque du Soleil and all those amazing Aussie circus companies), international co-creations, Latin American theatrical practices. There's so much.

  • @thechaoticsage8
    @thechaoticsage8 Рік тому +2

    This series is still being used to help students in college theatre programs, me included! I would love to see more, since most intro theatre classes are now going into contemporary work (into the 2000s minimum)

  • @blackandwhitesunsets2285
    @blackandwhitesunsets2285 5 років тому +1

    Aww this is so bittersweet ♥️ This is probably my favorite crash course series and it was the first I watched in real time, excitedly waiting for new videos each week. Thank you for all you’ve taught me and I can’t wait to see what you guys bring out next ♥️

  • @MKPiatkowski
    @MKPiatkowski 5 років тому +1

    I only discovered this series a few weeks ago and I have a lot to catch up on but I wanted to comment on this final one by saying thank you for this series. This is a lot more comprehensive than the theatre history survey course I did 30 years ago and as a theatre professional, I love that this series exists to help learn more about this art form. Thank you for being entertaining and informative.

    • @MKPiatkowski
      @MKPiatkowski 5 років тому

      And if you do another season with contemporary practices, I really hope you look at the work being done in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Latin America, Germany. Heck the explosion across the African continent is worth a few episodes.

      @Jaydoggy531 5 років тому +4

      I agree. I fully understand WHY opera gets a bad rep - I"m a big fan of it (and I'm not a fan of other fans), but there were a TON of breakthroughs in terms of stage technology, musical styles, and story telling through it.

  • @susanjones1842

    @JustcallmeShogi 5 років тому +52

    Farewell Mr. Regnetta, It was fun while it lasted. In a way, this was like an alternative observation of world history. It takes videos like these to realize how much influence theater and drama has on the opinions of a Nation, therefore has an influence on politics even on an international scale. Entertaining as it was educational 🙂

    "First Guys and Dolls, and then Artaud" truer words have never been said. I've loved this series- it's been wonderful and informative and really fun. And thank you for including an episode on Artaud, not enough people embrace ritualistic madness any more! Thank you so much :)

  • @AmberHolven3

    I enjoyed this so very much!! I am still waiting for the crash course Music history thought. I actually took a class of that nature in collage, and I think it would be so much more fun with Crash Course! Although taking it with an old hippy who happens to teach Geography was pretty great too. Until next time....

I have eight soundtracks for what would be considered book musicals on my phone, and I just marathoned this crash course in three days on my spring break. Well done, Mr. Rugeatta; take a bow. Yorick gets props too. Please explore some more modern Broadway - Sondheim (who is the amazing genius behind the "Wicked" soundtrack as well as "Into the Woods"), Andrew Lloyd Webber ("Phantom of the Opera" and "Evita," anyone?), and more would all be worth another crash course.
