Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, and Musicals

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Eager to respond to the concerns and tastes of the increasingly influential baby-boomer generation, musical theater in the late 1960s began to embrace formerly taboo subjects--including the triumvirate of postwar social change: sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, and Musicals shows how American culture has changed over the twentieth century, from the Roaring Twenties to the cultural chaos of the '50s and the sexual revolution of the '60s and '70s , to the rebirth of the art form in the '90s , and up to the present, exploring where we've been and where we might be heading. This is a celebration of the counter-culture taking center stage in the most American of performing arts, and changing it forever.
