Tintypes
Conceived by Mary Kyte with Mel Marvin and Gary Pearle
Director: Gary Pearle
Choreography: Mary Kyte
Dance Captain: Wayne Bryan
Musical Director: Mel Marvin
A musical potpourri of American songs from the post-Civil War era through World War I, Tintypes opened Off-Broadway in 1979 and transferred to Broadway the following year with a cast that included Jerry Zaks (later a director of note) and Lynne Thigpen (later a Tony Award winner for An American Daughter). Although the show contains its share of flag-waving, patriotic songs including "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "You're a Grand Old Flag," it has a darker side as well; numbers such as "She's Getting More Like the White Folks Every Day" and "When It's All Goin' Out and Nothin's Comin' In" examine the racial and economic gap that divided the country at the turn of the century. -TheaterMania.com
