Abstract
美國百老匯是經典音樂劇的盛產地，由於音樂劇的表現內容包羅萬象且表演形式靈活多變，因此當中的題材以及角色類型日趨豐富多樣。在20世紀90年代迪士尼公司向百老匯音樂劇舞臺進軍後，有許多經典童話故事或是動畫電影被改編成音樂劇。就如在2008年夢工廠創作的音樂劇《史瑞克》就是經過兒童繪本和動畫電影的改編，顛覆了眾所皆知的傳統王子和公主的故事模式及人物形象，成為一部「反經典童話」 的音樂劇。在這齣劇中所樹立的女主角「菲歐娜」這一另類的公主形象也從此進入大眾的視野。本論文以文獻資料分析法作為研究方法，在百老匯音樂劇的歷史發展中，針對童話題材為主的音樂劇進行研究分析，並且展開主要研究對象音樂劇《史瑞克》的劇作檔案，由此探究女主角菲歐娜這個人物誕生的社會背景和形象發展，將她與經典童話中的公主形象行進對比，並且以童話心理分析學的角度來探討菲歐娜所建立的公主形象。之後，以個案分析的方式進行菲歐娜的角色形象研究，從各種不同的角度具體分析她在演出中的公主形象與表現。最後，歸納出菲歐娜這一角色是否對既有的、固化的童話題材音樂劇的公主形象帶來改變，以及是否對音樂劇的女性角色詮釋帶來新的思考。
Broadway, America is home to quite a lot of classic musicals. Based on a wide range of contents and flexible performing forms, these musicals gradually develop with rich subjects and diversified characters. Since the Disney set foot on the Broadway stage in 1990s, many classic fairy tales and animated films have been adapted into musicals, among which Shrek the Musical is a typical example musical of anti-classic fairy tales. Created by DreamWorks in 2008, Shrek the Musical was adapted from the original children’s picture book and animated film and it has challenged our preconceptions about the well-known story pattern and traditional images of prince and princess. In addition, it also brought the heroine Fiona, a totally different princess image, into public eye.Based on literature review method, this thesis will first focus on the analysis of the musicals with a fairytale subject in the development of Broadway musicals and, then carry out the research on the creation process of Shrek the Musical. After that, the thesis will give a further look into the social background against which Fiona was created and into her image development by comparing Fiona with the princess images in some classic fairy tales and trying to analyze Fiona’s image from the perspective of fairytale psychology. Also, the thesis is going to use case study method to analyze Fiona’s image in performances from different aspects. In conclusion, the thesis will give an answer to whether Fiona has brought changes to the nailed princess images in fairytale musicals and brought new reflections to the female characters in musicals.
