In preparation for our June final, I would like everyone to take a few moments to review some of the information we will be assessing on the coming exam. This will include everything from last semester, as well as this one, so don't think you're going to get away with stuff JUST from January on! Like geometry, Jazzercise, and old epis of Downton Abbey, Broadway musicals build on that which came before; they effing evolve, revolve and tumble dry, bub, so to know the NEW, you must know the OLD. So sayeth a bunch of very...knowledgeable people.
And don't expect those damn multiple choice cake-y questions! This is gonna be an essay test, baby. You will need to write full sentences, and at least one should include a semi-colon. There just aren't enough semi-colons around these days. PLUS, you will need to connect. You know, like R&H with Guettel, and roller skates with Gene, and Comden with Greene (no, they weren't married, but did they ever have a fling?), Jessica M. with John P., and who was really supposed to star in that little bagel, Jamaica? If you've been taking notes, and listening in class, then you should have no trouble at all with the final. Hands of those who've taken notes. Anybody? ANYBODY???
Me neither. I mean, half this stuff I'm still discovering. Everybody gets an A in my book. If you can stand to listen to my Broadway drivel and the weird shows I put on display, you get extra credit...double if you know my favorite Broadway composer! Or my favorite color. That counts, too. ;;; !
