Hellzapoppin'

Hellzapoppin' is a musical from the 1930s that was a huge Broadwayhit . At the time, of 22 september 1938 to december 17, 1941 was the longest-running Broadway musical. With 1404 performances was one of the only three shows with over 500 designs in the 1930s.

In 1941, the piece also made into a film by H.C. Potter with the comedy duo Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson in the lead roles. The surreal scenes, absurd humor and breaking the fourth wall influenced many later generations of comedians. Because of this "Hellzapoppin'" also grew into a cult movie.

The show was a kind of circus, complete with dwarfs,clowns and trained pigeons, where the audience cheerfully took part. The script was written by John "Ole" Olsen and Harold "Chic" Johnson, the music and lyrics by Sammy Fain and Charles Tobias. In the show include Ole Olsen Chic Johnson and performed on and Billy Adams, Ray Kinney and Whitey's steppers.

The absurd humor given the success of the show. The music was subordinate. Music and lyrics in the life of the show featured work by, among others, Don George, Teddy Hall, Annette Mills, Gonzalo Curiel, andOscar Hammerstein II.

The show opened at the 46th Street Theatre but later moved to the Winter Garden Theatre and Majestic Theatre. There were several successful prosecution of made. The television show Laugh-In ( 1968-1973's) was an attempt to revive the atmosphere for a new generation. ==List of songs from the musical[ Edit] == ==Film Adaptation[ Edit] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In H.C. Potter turned a 1941 film version of the popular musical. Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson played himself. Martha Raye performed further and Shemp Howard with it. The verkoopsslogan assured the public that "any resemblance between Hellzapoppin' and a motion picture are coincidental". This was possibly the reason why the film did less well than the musical. The film was about Ole and Chic, which is a film made for a fictional film studio Miracle Pictures (their slogan: "If it's a good picture, it's a Miracle!") and contains the probably most famous example of the lindy hop dance on film: a rousing routine of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers.There is also a less to see famous dance scene with Dean Collins.

This type of humor in itself was not new- The Marx Brothers were formerly all surreal comedies-but still it was still delusional Hellzapoppin ' even more sensible in comparison. The fourth wall is broken indefinitely. So the film grew into a cult film. Also the famous lindy hop dance scenes made during the 1990s for a revival of the genre.
