Instructions
This week, you reviewed the work of Rodgers and Hammerstein as a successful musical theater writing team. Driven by a need to be the “Messengers of Equity” during the Golden Age of Broadway, they often found themselves caught between taking the moral high ground in musical plots and lyrics and creating successful commercial shows with mass appeal.
One of your readings from The Great White Way: Race and the Broadway Musical, concentrates on how Rodgers and Hammerstein addressed, or rather did not address, the First Nation (Native American) population of the “Indian Territory”—the setting for the musical, Oklahoma! Author Warren Hoffman offers several possible explanations for the absence of these people from the characters, plot, and dramatic action.
Please revisit this reading and develop a short essay of 650–750 words discussing at least two reasons Hoffman cites for the lack of Native American characters in Oklahoma! Your only source for this essay is the aforementioned article. You may structure your writing according to MLA or APA styles of writing.
Your essay should be written in a Word document, double-spaced, and uploaded for submission.
