About the event

TASH Special Interest Day November 6th 2025: Musicals & their Hit Songs (with John Snelson)
I KNOW IT SO WELL! Classical Musicals and their Inescapable Hit Songs

Stage musicals have been the source of some of our most well- known and lasting songs. Using sound, video and live performance at the piano, this day explores how those hit songs spread from the stage into shared culture. Included in this celebration of musical theatre on the stage and beyond are, amongst others, Jerome Kern, Rodgers and Hart, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lionel Bart, Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

John Snelson currently lectures at Goldsmiths College, London, having worked for 20 years at the Royal Opera House. His interest in musical theatre led to a PhD and many publications on the subject. He has especially studied the society and culture around musicals to reveal what makes them so appealing, enduring and important.
