A Word Sung on BYU's Vaudeville Would Smell As Sweet ...

by Pollyanna Eyler, dramaturg

Can you match these “WORDS” about “WORDS” on top, with the famous musicals (as shown at BYU) on bottom?

1._________________________
I'd like to say a word in her behalf,
Maria makes me laugh.

 
3. _________________________

   Words, Words, Words, I’m so Sick of Words,
I get words all day through, first from him, now from you
Is that all you blaggards can do?
Never do I ever want to hear another word, there isn’t one,
I haven’t heard.
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream;
Say one more word and I’ll scream!

A Swing for the Supernatural

If you will see, or have seen, the BYU Theatre production of Blithe Spirit this June, you may notice that there are two names in the cast list who are not given a character role, but simply the role of “Swing.” Just what is a swing, and why are they important for a production? As dramaturg, I interviewed our two swing actors to get their perspectives - and definitions - of this important role.
