MODERATORS
I don't know much about musical theatre, but I was talking on someone on hexbear who did - they recommended:
'great 18th century Bourgois revolutionary operas William Tell (Rossini) and La Muette di Portici (Auber). The first was the trigger for the 3 days in July, the latter for the Belgian Revolution.'
They also suggested 'the ballad musical Reedy River, about the aftermath of the Australian 1891 Miner's strike that triggered the formation of the Australian Labour Party, the first Social Democratic Party to take power in the world.'
Furthermore 'the Maoist era plays (often filmed before staged, but they're all quite stagey in scripting) are better than their reputation suggests. The Red Detachment of Women is a particular favourite, though I prefer the ballet to the other adaptations.'
Enjoy I guess.
