Galt MacDermot (music) with Gerome Ragni & James Rado (lyrics) Hair (1967) Inducted May 2022 as “Top Musicals.”

The cast album reached #1 and sold five million copies in the United States. It is in the Grammy Hall of Fame and National Recording Registry. It won a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album and was named one of the top albums of the 20th century by the Recording Industry Association of America. Read more.

Lin-Manuel Miranda (music & lyrics) Hamilton (2015) Inducted May 2022 as “Top Musicals.”

Inspired by Ron Chernow’s 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote a musical that combined the traditional style of show tunes with hip-hop, R&B, pop, and soul in a move that seemed destined for derision, but it became one of the most successful musicals of the 21st century. Hamilton won a Tony for Best Musical, a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album, and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Read more.

Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) & Tim Rice (lyrics) Jesus Christ Superstar (1971) Inducted May 2022 as “Top Musicals.”

When Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice couldn’t get funding for a stage production of their rock-music infused, controversial modernization of the Christ story, they released a studio album. Its success (including being named Billboard magazine’s album of the year) led to an eventual run on Broadway and an eight-year run in England, making it the country’s longest-running musical at the time.

Cole Porter (music & lyrics) Kiss Me, Kate (1949) Inducted May 2022 as “Top Musicals.”

Kiss Me, Kate was the most successful Broadway musical of Cole Porter’s career, winning the Tony for Best Musical. It came at a time when he was thought to be in decline.

Richard Rodgers (music) & Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics) Oklahoma! (1943) Inducted May 2022 as “Top Musicals.”

It was a ground-breaking musical, taking the unusual approach of actually having the songs grow out of the characters’ situations. The cast album reached #4 and sold 3 million copies in the U.S. It is in the Grammy Hall of Fame and the National Recording Registry. The 1955 soundtrack topped the charts in the U.S. and U.K. and sold two million copies in the states.

Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) with Charles Hart & Richard Stilgoe (lyrics) Phantom of the Opera (1986) Inducted May 2022 as “Top Musicals.”

The Phantom of the Opera was based on a 1911 French gothic mystery novel. The story is about a disfigured, musical genius who becomes obsessed with a beautiful soprano singer.

Jerome Kern (music) & Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics) Show Boat (1927) Inducted May 2022 as “Top Musicals.”

Show Boat is generally considered the first true American musical play. It broke tradition from the typical musical revues by telling an actual story accompanied by music. Kern and Hammerstein based the show on Ednar Ferber’s 1926 novel of the same name. The show’s best known songs are “Ol’ Man River” and “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man.” The cast album is in the Grammy Hall of Fame and National Recording Registry. Read more.

Leonard Bernstein (music) & Stephen Sondheim (lyrics) West Side Story (1957) Inducted May 2022 as “Top Musicals.”

Romeo and Juliet gets an update in West Side Story as a conflict between rival gangs in 1950s’ New York. The cast album hit #5 and sold more than 3 million copies worldwide, but was eclipsed by the monstrous success of the 1961 soundtrack, which spent 54 weeks at #1 in the U.S. where it sold 8 million copies. The cast album is in the Grammy Hall of Fame, won a Grammy for Best Musical album, and was named Billboard’s album of the year. “Somewhere,” “Tonight,” and “Maria” are among the show’s best known songs.

On This Day (1893): George J. Gaskin hit #1 with “After the Ball”

After the Ball George J. Gaskin

Writer(s): Charles K. Harris (see lyrics here) Published: 1891 First Charted: April 29, 1893 Peak: 110 US (Click for codes to charts.) Sales (in millions): 5.0 (sheet music) Airplay/Streaming (in millions): -- radio, 0.13 video, -- streaming

Awards (Gaskin): Click on award for more details. Awards (John Yorke Atlee): Click on award for more details. About the Song: Charles K. Harris wrote this classic waltz in 1891 for an amateur minstrel show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The first time it was performed, the singer, Sam Doctor, forgot the words and the song made a poor impression. PG However, Harris believed in the song and paid well-known performer J. Aldrich Libbey to include it in his A Trip to Chinatown show. SS It grew in popularity and John Philip Sousa and his band performed it daily at the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1893. PG That same year, George J. Gaskin and John Yorke Atlee recorded the song. The former was a #1 for 10 weeks while the latter peaked at #2. It was the fourth chart-topper for Gaskin, who was known as “The Silve-Voiced Tenor.” He had a total of 19 songs reach the peak from 1891 to 1901. It was one of only three chart hits for Atlee. PM In the song, an old man explains to his niece that he never married after seeing his sweetheart kissing another man at a ball. He left, and refusing to hear her explanation, WK only to find out years later that it was her brother. SS Harris got the idea from a dance in Chicago where he saw two lovers get in a fight and leave separately. SF The song “exemplifies the sentimental ballads published before 1920, whose topics were frequently babies, separation, and death.” WK It has “a memorable, tearjerking chorus in the form of a story constructed for middle-class ladies to learn on their parlour pianos.” LW It “is sometimes credited with beginning the commercial exploitation of popular music.” SF Before 1893, most songs became regional hits and then word spread, but the aggressive marketing behind “After the Ball” set a new standard. SS It was the first song to sell a million copies of sheet music, SF eventually racking up five million and becoming the best seller in Tin Pan Alley’s history. WK Tin Pan Alley was the name given to a group of 19th century and early 20th century music publishers and songwriters in New York City. The song resurfaced in 1927 when it was used in the groundbreaking musical Show Boat. Norma Terris performed it during its original Broadway run and Irene Dunne performed it for the 1936 film version. It was made into a film again in 1951 and performed by Kathryn Grayson. WK In 1940, it was featured in the biographical musical film Lillian Russell and performed by Alice Faye. WK It has also been performed by Nat “King” Cole, Bing Crosby, Guy Lombardo, Julie London, and Lawrence Welk. WK Resources: DMDB encyclopedia entry for George J.

About the Show: Show Boat “is generally considered to be the first true American ‘musical play’.” WK It separated itself from the operettas, light musical comedies, and Follies-type musical revues of the 1890s and early 20th century by telling a dramatic plot-and-character driven story accompanied by music. WK The musical, with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics and book by Oscar Hammerstein II, was based on Ednar Ferber’s 1926 novel of the same name. WK The show works in a few songs not by Kern and Hammerstein, including Bill, written by P.G. Wodehouse in 1918, but reworked by Hammerstein for Show Boat. Goodbye, My Lady Love by Joseph Howard and After the Ball by Charles K. Harris have become mainstays in the American stage productions of the show as well. WK The show opened on Broadway on December 27, 1927 at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York, where it ran for a year and a half. The 1928 London cast album was released in England before the United States. Since the U.S. had not started making original cast albums of Broadway shows, there was no album made of the 1927 Broadway cast. WK However, for the 1932 revival of the musical, a cast album was made featuring Helen Morgan and Paul Robeson, who were both in the original American and London casts of Show Boat, E-C alongside “James Melton, Frank Munn, and Countess Olga Albani” WK and an orchestra conducted by Victor Young. WK The recordings of “Ol’ Man River and a Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man…are truly authoritative. The…sound is astonishingly good.” E-C The show was revived again in 1946, 1983, and 1994. WK Similarly, cast album recordings have been made multiple times, including 1946, 1956, 1958, 1962, 1966, 1971, 1988, and 1994. It was also made into a movie in 1936 with members from the original Broadway and London productions. It was made into a movie again in 1951 although it “was prettied up considerably and reshaped almost beyond recognition. On the other hand, Howard Keel’s baritone is one of the most pleasing voices in movies of that era, and teamed with Kathryn Grayson’s fluttering alto, the results are beguiling on songs like Only Make Believe.” E-S It “wasn’t treated too seriously by most purists until the 1990s, when it emerged as a minor classic in its own right.” E-S Resources and Related Links: E-C Bruce Eder, All Music Guide (1932 cast) E-S Bruce Eder, All Music Guide (1951 soundtrack) WK Wikipedia.org Other Related DMDB Pages: First posted 8/11/2008; last updated 12/21/2021.
