On the Town
|
circa 1944 |
| Inspired by Jerome Robbins' earlier ballet Fancy Free, On The Town brilliantly dramatized the adventures of three sailors in New York on a 24-hour pass. Robbins' driving creative vision as both director and choreographer on this show and his West Side Story (1957) planted the seeds for the so called "concept musical," such as "Cabaret" (1966) and "Chicago" (1975). |

Allegro
|
September 1947 |
| The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical directed and choreographed by Agnes de Mille. An abstract concept, the musical portrayed the first 35 years of a man's life beginning with birth. The play was not considered a success at 315 performances, and has never seen a revival despite containing several well-regarded songs. |
