- This is it! We're going out with a singing, dancing look at the Broadway Book Musical. Oklahoma! On the Town! Annie Get Your Gun! Also, just Annie! Today you'll learn about the development of the Broadway Book Musical in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and get a sense of how the form developed through the Golden Age of Broadway.

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...
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!
they explained why
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?
Funding.
@@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.
I don't know why but I got so emotional at the end when he said "curtain"... :(
Because that, my friend, is how theatre should make you feel. ;)
Last episode? noooo... But really, it’s been a good run, one of the best shows Crash Course has produced.
Where else could you get your crash course in Drama theory
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.
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!.
Oh great, I just found out about this show. My timing is impeccable! At least I've got 50 videos to binge in a row.
Will we see Crash Course Music? Was really looking forward to an opera series as well.
After this, I'd love to see opera done.
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.
This was a beautiful wrap (for now, we hope!) to this insightful, inspiring series. Please bring CCT back soon! Bravissimo.
And now it’s time for one last bow... for this season of theater in Crash Course. Thanks for the lessons, Mike. Please come back for another season/series in Crash Course
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.
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!
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)
Some ideas for the next Crash Course series:
1. Linguistics
2. Music (as I have seen suggested in another comment)
BRAVO! ENCORE!!! ENCORE!!! Seriously, it's always sad to see another course come to an end. Hopefully you come back for another course because I enjoyed this a lot more because of you.

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.
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.
I didn't fall asleep once, which for everyone who's ever sat through a 10am Theatre History course knows is the true high watermark of a great Theatre History course.
*Standing ovation*
Can we please get an encore? I'm not ready for this to end!
I am so sad this is over! I loved it.
A future series suggestion: women authors through the ages. I know it’s rather niche but there are so many female writers that are constantly forgotten about in normal literature courses
The last episode? How about another encore? Like, a season-long encore? We love this show!
Encore! Encore!
Oh you have only scratched the surface! Please do another series and explore some more!
Another great course, Mike -- I look forward to your next project.
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.
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.
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 🙂
Noooo! This has been amazing! Please do another series on this! And thank you for teaching us and entertaining us. You guys are awesome! :D
One of the best Crash Courses ever! Standing ovation.
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 ♥️
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Broadway book musical. It really made me think about how much our industry has shifted since the early to mid 1900s.
Aww dang it. This is the second or third episode I've seen, and you had me hooked. Hopefully I can see more of you in the future. Thanks for the work you've done!
So well done! I truly enjoyed every episode and learned a lot. Hate to see you end it. But, wow, 50 episodes was a magnificent effort, I’m sure. Congratulations!
Thanks so much for a great series! I looked forward to a new video every week, and loved every bit of it❤️
Thanks, Mike Rugnetta! This was perfect to accompany my year-long theatre history course in grad school. I appreciate your perky, expert approach!
"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 :)
Oh PIFFLE!! I've enjoyed this so much! Thanxk you, Mike Rugnetta et al.
Thank you so much for this series! And thanks to Mike for being such a wonderful host!
I’m going to miss you videos so much hope you guys get to come back and cover those 40 years ❤️
Sad to see this end, but I guess all good things must come to an end. I loved this course and I look forward to seeing what else you have planned for us!
Thank you, CC.
This had been entertaining and enlightening.
Thank you, Mike. All the best to you in all your endeavours. Hope to see you and CC together again for more awesome content.
This is one of the few crash course series (outside of the first runs) I watched every episode of... bravo!
I'm in tears. This was awesome. CrashCourse is the best edutainment.
I'm gonna miss both Yorick and Mike. Thank you for this wonderful, insightful, and not to mention funny series. I wish you well.
Crash course, thank you.
Encore encore! I only got into this series this January, but what a great series! Congrats
This series was so good! I learned more here than in any of the theatre and Broadway classes I took in high school and college combined! thank you all so much!
Thank you to everyone who worked on this series. It was a great ride!
Really, seriously enjoyed that. Series two, front and centre please!
That las bit really expressed well how much you love the theater. Thank you for this series.
This was an awesome series. Once again, great job Mike! Can't wait to see what's next, and speaking of myself, the original movie version of Annie was how I started to get into theater
This was absolutely one of the best crash course series I have seen! I love theatre and this has only made my love stronger, thank you
It has been a great series Mike! Thank you all!

OH NO I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S DONE!! Thank you so much for being so amazing and teaching us so much, Mike is my favourite CC host!
That was a great video series Mike and the rest of the team, a lot of valuable gems to found here. 👏 😎
I loved this series of crash course!! 100% down for an encore 😊😊
Catch me getting emotional about theatre and art 😭 honestly though, thank you so so so much for this series, it’s made me so happy and I love it so much. I really appreciate crash course and this whole series has been a celebration of the art that is so dear to my theatre kid heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so so much for this! As a distant education student without any teaching assistance, this entire crash course on drama helped me a lot in my exam. I just finished writing my final sem paper and I am so much grateful to you for this wonderful presentation of such a vast topic.
ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!
Brava! and thank you for the amazing series x
I’ve enjoyed every single episode! Thank you!
This has been such a great CC series. What will I watch every Saturday morning now? I hope you do something equally as interesting next, Mike.
Great job Mike !!! Looking forward to future bits on Crash Course with you.
Thank you its been a wonderful series.
All great things must come to an end. Thanks!
Thank you so much, guys. It's been an awesome journey.
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....
👏👏👏 MIKE RUGNETTA IS A NATIONAL TREASURE 👏👏👏
Book Musicals, the gateway drug to theatre. Well put.
I cant believe its over! Ill miss seeing these videos
I will miss this CC. It was a bright jewel of my subs.
I loved this series!! Thank you!!!
I am so ready for this episode... go Broadway musicals!!!
Another great crash course series! Bravo!
I’m doing my own High school show rn, Chicago. This was an awesome series and I’ve been waiting for this episode for so long
encore!!!!
Dammit I didn't want it to end :(
I suppose I can go drown my sorrows in some musicals. Or at least the soundtracks...
-sniffle-
Thank you for an amazing series!
7:12 LOL no offence taken. I love how he said okies and I'm like " dats me! "😝😂
Thanks Mic, Yorick, et al. Thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining, and (darest I say it) edumachational. Once again, ta muchly.
Oh wow I can't believe we're at the end already... Its been such a great ride, I love the way you talk so passionately about theatre! As a theatre student myself I've found this all so helpful and as a nerd I died ahaha
Thank you so much. This Crash Course was so inspiring to me
Thank you, Mike and company. I liked it.
Thanks guys. I learned a lot about the theater.
AMAZING SERIES! I LOVED IT. IT WAS VERY EDUCATION, FUNNY AND VERY PLEASANT TO WATCH. THANK U!
I didn't think I would but I really enjoyed the series. Well done and bravo!
"First Guys and Dolls, then Artaud" - very nice. I was in a production of Oooooklahoma! (where the wind come swiftly down the plain!) when I was 14 (33 years ago) and I can still remember every word from every song - and I'm not even American :-).
About "Oklahoma!!" there is a great film version that was released in 1955. Today it's available on video and CD's.
Thank you so much for this series! I passed my Theatre Praxis exam with a lot of help from this Crash Course :)
Thanks for another excellent Crash Course
👏👏👏 Until your next series, Mr. R.
Bravo!
I learned so much listening to this one!
Well good bye, been watching your crash course vids since the beginning of the mythology series. Maybe do another series 😉
Encore Encore Encore!!!
I HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS
Nice work sir. My compliments to the crew as well.
yeeeah, i've been waiting for that all day!
