Record of initial ideas
To be completed by the candidate

This page records initial meeting(s) with your supervisor to agree your project ideas. Additional pages can be
submitted if more than one idea has been explored.
My idea(s) for topic/title
The Cultural Phenomenon of Broadway Musicals

Has the Popularity of Broadway Declined With the New Millennium?
My ideas for research and development of my project
My first ideas came from an interest in musicals and how they could link to society. I could look at different
Broadway shows and how they were created, or look at how the popularity of Broadway has changed since the
very first musical. I could also research the different types of musicals, such as book musicals and revues.
Through looking at the origins of Broadway musicals I could incorporate a historical element to my research. I
could use books such as Anything Goes: A History of American Musical Theatre by Ethan Mordden to assist with
the historical research. I also want to link anthropology into my research, which I can do by looking at topics such
as non-traditional casting and the type of shows that become successes.
My summary of the comments and advice from my supervisor
My supervisor has said that I have good initial ideas that I can improve upon and expand. The first topic title is too
broad and I need to narrow the title down in order to focus on my research. The second question is a better
research question, but the new millennium is a bit broad and I could pick a specific year, such as the year
2000, and discuss whether or not Broadway has become less popular. My supervisor also suggested that in
terms of anthropology and my research I could possibly look at how Broadway has become a tourist destination
rather than a creative outlet, and how money fuels what is out on Broadway and what is produced off-Broadway.
They also suggested that I research the tactics used by Broadway shows to draw in an audience and research the
boundaries that Broadway pushes in terms of what they are willing to talk about on stage.
8 of 26
Modifications I have made as a result of my discussion with my supervisor
From my meeting with my supervisor I have edited my topic title to be more specific, which will assist me in my
research. I have also added many new topics to the ones previously thought of and want to develop my ideas by
looking at the people of Broadway, such as the actors that headline popular shows to the demographic of the
audience and the difference in success and content of Broadway and off-Broadway shows. After confirmation of
my topic and title from my supervisor I can now use books and reputable websites to further my current research.

Planning review

This page records your outline plan once your proposal has been approved.
My next steps in planning, researching and deadlines that I will set myself. What I intend to do, by when, what
resources I will use and how I will implement the recommendations of the centre co-ordinator (where appropriate).
As part of the next stage in the planning of my project I have made use of a notebook to jot down rough ideas and
I am using it to list the points I wish to make in my report, and those I wish to research more and expand upon
such as the use of social media by Broadway shows. I am currently reading Anything Goes: A History of
American Musical Theatre by Ethan Mordden and Broadway Babies Say Goodnight by Mark Steyn. Whilst
reading these books I have been making motes that are pertinent to my research topic. I have extended my own
deadline and have given myself until the 15th January to have read these books and complete the notes I wish to
make. I am also going to look in my local library for any other books that may be relevant to my topic before the
31st December. As well as reading books, I intend to conduct more preliminary research online to develop the
rough ideas I have, such as research into Broadway audience demographics from www.broadwayleague.com ,
which will give me quantitative data to include in my report. I am also looking into possibly being able to collect
some primary data, such as interviews with academics in the anthropological field or people currently working on
Broadway. I intend to create a document that will collate all of my ideas and research in one place, where I can
assess its validity and reliability as well as how valuable it may be to my overall judgement. To ensure I keep to
my deadlines I have set aside a minimum of four hours a week (Tuesday 9:00-11:00 and Thursday 9:00-11:00) to
work on my project.
