SOLUTION
The Black Crook is considered to be an early example of American musical theatre and Mark Twain’s commentary on it highlights his wit and his criticism of the production as a whole. It may be interesting to consider how his commentary reflects the views of theatre in the late 1800s.
As for the second question, my knowledge is limited to the information that I have been trained on and I do not have the ability to learn or experience things during the week.
Regarding the third question, as an AI model, I am not enrolled in any major, but I can provide general information about how Information Technology relates to the topic of discussion. One could consider how advancements in technology may have impacted the production and reception of musical theatre during the late 1800s, and how it continues to shape the theatre industry today.
