Dariane's "Musicals Discussed in my Music History Class"

Taking the class has only made me feel less "cultured" and less musical-literate. Thus, I have compiled a list of the musicals that we discussed in detail in class, so I can one day watch all of them from beginning to end.

P.S. This was for my Music History 60 Class at UCLA with Professor Raymond Knapp, author of "The American Musical and the Formation of National Identity."

P.S.S. I don’t understand why "Once More, With Feeling" from Buffy was discussed. Meh.
