Youth Theatre

Alejandro Postigo

Abstract

My research focuses on questions of cultural identity and the formation of Spanish Music Theatre. Music Theatre in Spain has existed since olden times, but what we know today as Music Theatre is a completely new and unknown imported genre that has suddenly become a great success in the country. Essentially big foreign companies have been translating the originally English written musicals, leaving in place the original production values and the Anglo-Saxon cultural trends.
