BEC students' team developed a context diagram for a Web-based customer relationship management system, and the project was later named MyBroadway. To provide greater understanding on the requirements of the project, the BEC team analyses various structure of the context diagram, and based on the data flow discovered, the project composes of the movie rental agreement that states the number of movies that a customer is allowed to rent. The interactions of MyBroadway with the Entertainment Tracker database will allow a customer to rent a movie based on the number of movies in the customer's possession.
MyBroadway is the system that interacts with the Entertainment tracker to pass the information to the customer whether a particular movie is available for rent or whether a customer is allowed to rent a movie based on the number of movies in his or her possession.

Once the final phase of the SLDC is implemented for the wireless order capture and ordering system there is greater potential for order accuracy as well, as the waiter and waitresses will have helped designed the entry screens and workflows.
Making the order capture and online ordering system more efficient with a higher level of accuracy will ensure greater levels of customer satisfaction over time and actually strengthen the concept of exceptional customer service too. As the Cafe has survived over half a century based on its reputation for customer service and making customers feel wanted and important, the online ordering system will accentuate that aspect of the experience with greater levels of accuracy.

Using the SDLC as a means to also roll out free WiFi is critical to the Cafe as well. Customers' preferences and requirements are changing significantly when it comes to WiFi and Internet access; many expect it…...

lightness delivers no depth in terms of political or social commentary, an American in Paris accomplishes what many Broadway musicals set out to do: provide a fantastic array of song and dance numbers sure to impress. As an adaptation of the original film from the 1950s, An American in Paris offers a modern rendition, albeit in period costume and set design. The music is nostalgic, and so are the dance styles. Viewers unfamiliar with the original film will understand how the producers seek to capture the spirited optimism and idealism that characterized both American and French society in the aftermath of orld ar II. The romantic tropes will likewise be familiar and require no prior knowledge of the plot or tone of the movie. Altogether, the happy ending and unabashed romanticism provide a welcome respite from the often cynical nature of postmodern theater and cinema.

Performance Comparisons: Gershwin, Bernstein, MirandaWhen George Gershwin premiered his operettaPorgy and Bess in 1935, it was historic to feature persons of color in what was supposedly the high art of opera. Although the singer Ann Brown was a great classical singer, it was rare for persons of color to be cast in such roles. Brown notes her resentment in an interview that she resisted being pigeonholed into stereotypical sounds and roles, despite eventually taking on the leading role of Bess.Leonard BernsteinsWest Side Story, which was first seen on Broadway in 1957, similarly transposed Shakespeares classic tale into a contemporary racial conflict of the era. But both examples highlight how white creators may appropriate Black and Latino sounds and voices to further their own careers, to be consumed by white audiences. However, like Porgy & Bess, West Side Story was still of historical significance in the manner in which it showed…...

Concentrating on these areas will help attract customers from this generation.
Marketing

Customers choose how they want to learn about and interact with businesses. While the last 50+ years of the Cafe has been more driven by personal relationships, the current generation chooses to use the Web and social networks. Marketing as a result must embrace digital content strategies and delivery coupons regularly to clients over Facebook, Twitter and other platforms. It must also seek to create mailing lists that can be managed through hosted platforms including Constant Contact. In short, the Cafe must redefine its marketing strategies to reflect how its customers want to learn and evaluate the Cafe. The total experience of the Cafe needs to be evaluated from the context of enhancing the customers' valuation of it; not staying stuck in the past and coasting on quaintness and customer loyalty.

Michael Bennet-What makes him unique
Michael Bennett was born in 1943 under the full name of Michael Bennett DiFiglia. He was devoted to the theater and over the course of his life was a dancer, choreographer and director; before succumbing to AIDS complications at 44 years old. His unique style was his legacy to Broadway -- particularly regarding Musical Theater.

Musical theater has a rich and storied history; dating back centuries. First conceived as "narration with song and dance incorporated"; it was meant to glorify beautiful females, dancers, singers and the occasional comedian (eynolds, 882). Broadway Musicals were not always successful; but dance continued to be integral and professionals of all genres fell under the purview of the choreographer (eynolds 693).

By the 1970s the cost of staging a Broadway show was exorbitant. It was often decided to pare back dancing and choreography as a means of saving money (Clark). Many credit Michael…...

For Stroman, the musical numbers must be integrated within a narrative rather than standing as more autonomous (or hegemonic) components of the Broadway Musical.
Michael Bennett brought a less-defined style than Stroman or Fosse, although he made a great impact on the Broadway musical. His costuming was more colorful than the previously accepted norm, as he incorporated garish neon pink, green, and yellow tones into his costume design for the 1975 play a Chorus Line (Hecht). By focusing on costuming, Bennett made the costuming a more integral component of the Broadway musical than previously been accepted.

theater and particularly its musical performances, have changed dramatically over the years. Their tone and style have reflected historical and cultural changes as well as shifts in attitudes toward musical theater. Recent productions like Book of Mormon and Hamilton would have been inconceivable just a generation ago. Broadway musicals are unique in that they straddle the line between popular and high culture. They have popular culture appeal, packed within the fine art of theater. In some ways, musical theater is a popular culture version of the opera. Broadway theater has matured and expanded its repertoire considerably, moving from the relatively limited domain of Steven Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd eber productions towards a more diverse and creative one. As Lewis points out, "How sadly limiting that was; it surely took some kind of toll on alternative voices trying to break free of cliche expectations," (2). Broadway has broken free, finally,…...

According to research, "Each man deserves respect because only he has had those exact life experiences and understands his emotions, motivations, and body in such an intimate matter," (ainbow 2010). Thus, Broadway was respecting the individual decisions of its players to decide whether or not the game was ok to play.
However, this was only followed outside of the United States. The decision locally was much different. Because of the nature of the young audience, there was the moral dilemma for the insertion of such sexually explicit references. And so, Broadway was not acting ethically when they failed to uphold local ethics abroad. According to research, "A winking tolerance of other's unethical behavior is in itself unethical," (Jennings 2007:14). ather than acting out of ethical obligation to others as they did to their own, Broadway let it slide and moved sales elsewhere, where they knew they could get away with…...

The store should also sell funny or compelling t-shirts which have the brand emblazoned on them, so that customers can engage in a certain sense of solidarity. There need to be compelling articles posted on the website that offer benefit-driven content to customers about the best brewing techniques, the history of coffee, or even recipes for some of the baked goods that are sold in the store. The online end of the business needs to be a financial, educational and social hub for customers to gravitate to even when they're not in the store.

Musicals
Since the dawn of the classical Broadway musicals like Oklahoma! And My Fair Lady, musicals have captivated audiences in America and worldwide. The power of the musical cannot be underestimated. As Chapter 13 points out, musicals have their roots far back before New York City or Broadway. China has a long tradition of opera, in which dramas are set alongside poignant musical numbers. European operatic traditions are also the forebears of the modern stage musical. Musicals can be funny, like Guys and Dolls and The Book of Mormon, or straight like West Side Story and Wicked. Rock musicals add to the canon of tradition that graces stages worldwide. Even television shows have embraced the musical fully, capturing the sense that some emotions and ideas cannot be conveyed in any other format. For example, both The Simpsons and South Park have created whole musical episodes out of animated comedy.

Thokoza in I Sing for Freedom
The off-Broadway play I Sing for Freedom is not a drama or musical exactly like people are used to seeing in a theater. Instead of fancy sets or special effects, the show is somewhat small and simple. It stars members of the acapella group Thokoza who all perform without any musical instruments along with them. The performance is really more of an involving experience, where the six women who star in the show sing, talk together, and then sing some more. It brings you in to the story. All of the women are around sixty or even older. Some of the women are from South Africa and the others are American, but they share a common understanding that the world around them has changed a lot. The women share their stories about their lives from the past and about their roles as mothers and grandmothers.…...

This is similar to the specifics of the legal case that Hansberry's father became engaged in over their house in an all white neighborhood. In the real-life version of events, however, things were far less polite. Hansberry's father was actually breaking a legal covenant between property owners of the area that they would not sell to African-Americans, and Carl Hansberry was actually sued for $100,000 -- a huge sum of money in 1937 (and not bad now) (SocialJusticeiki). Hansberry countersued, claiming that the covenant had denied him his right to be heard, and the Supreme Court agreed, allowing his family to stay in their home on a legal technicality, but not ending the discriminatory covenant (SocialJusticeiki). In the case of the Youngers, alter is given a temptation of money, and his ultimate refusal of it -- " e don't want to make no trouble for nobody or fight no…...
