Robin Spann<\/span>\u00a0shares some fun facts about American musical theatre.<\/em><\/h2>\n

1. An interesting blend of musical theater terms<\/h2>\n

Robin Spann<\/span><\/a>\u00a0says that there are certain words you can associate with musical theater, such as lyrics, music, and the book. The former refers to the lines that actors sing, while the book is to the actual musical parts that performers speak. Putting these two words together gives you a libretto. If you add music and lyrics, you’ll have the score.<\/p>\n

2. Multi-purpose<\/h2>\n

Robin Spann<\/span>\u00a0adds that musical theater productions are more than a form of entertainment. Musical creators can use many ways to express themselves, including set design, musical composition, acting, and costuming. Plays can also challenge specific and controversial political and cultural issues and let the audience ponder the hot topics.<\/p>\n

3. American musical theater is still young<\/h2>\n

According to\u00a0Robin Spann<\/span><\/a>, George M. Cohan-the American composer and dramatist-is thought to have pioneered the first authentic American musicals in the early 20th century. Before then, Europe’s musicals dominated American theater. Cohan’s material was unique because the characters had an American outlook and used music and lyrics with slang and natural conversation.<\/p>\n

4. All-round musical theater actor<\/h2>\n

As\u00a0Robin Spann<\/span>\u00a0<\/a>notes, keep updating yourself with new trends to be a successful musical theater actor. Reading other plays besides the ones you’re playing makes you a versatile actor, leading to more acting opportunities.\u00a0Robin Spann<\/span>\u00a0also says that listening to the radio and watching the news can help you stay up-to-date on the current news.<\/p>\n

5. Reaching Broadway is the ultimate achievement.<\/h2>\n

Every aspiring musical theater actor wants to make it to Broadway, which is the pinnacle of success. However,\u00a0Robin Spann<\/span>\u00a0says that the road to Broadway is long and tough, demanding hard work, commitment, persistence, and a positive attitude.<\/p>\n

Growing up in the Cleveland suburbs, OH,\u00a0Robin Spann<\/span>\u00a0lived with his parents and a brother and often visited his grandparents who lived in the same neighborhood.\u00a0Robin Spann<\/span>\u00a0is a gifted individual, having worked for several companies in different roles, from teaching, hosting bar trivia, and working as a pharmacy technician. Currently, he is at Dom’s Kitchen and Market, a start-up store.<\/p>\n

A holder of two majors, one in English and the other in Biology,\u00a0Robin Spann<\/span><\/a>\u00a0attended Baldwin Wallace University (Berea, OH). Later, he graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) with a master’s in Education and still wants to resume school in the future.\u00a0Robin Spann<\/span>\u00a0relocated to Chicago in his 20s because the city appeared to be a thrilling place to live, and he has spent five years living there. Living with his partner, Mollz, and their three cats,\u00a0Robin Spann<\/span>\u00a0is still amazed at the new Chicago city areas he’s discovering.<\/p>\n
