In 1952, Betty Comden and Adolph Green
scripted, and lyricist Arthur Freed and composer Nacio Herb Brown
supplied the score to one of MGM’s most beloved musicals, "Singing
in the Rain." But the film was really a showcase for choreographer
and co-director Gene Kelly (with Stanley Donen), who danced and
sang his way into American hearts and film history.

The Brothers Grimm fairytale about Hansel
and Gretel, the two resourceful children who successfully fend
off a wicked witch who lives in a gingerbread house, has scared
the pants off kids (and parents) for nearly two centuries in
its original form, which is grim indeed.

Ever since Lewis Hallan brought a company
of actors to the colonies in 1752, American theater has been
hugely indebted to English writers, managers and actors. Even
today, decades after American theater came into its own, Broadway
and off-Broadway rely heavily on English imports. Many British
plays fit nicely into American culture and iconography. Others
do not make the crossing quite as well.
