Produktbeschreibung

Established and emerging musical theatre scholars wrestle with the complexities of the gendered and sexualized musical theatre form.

Critics and fans alike often mistake theatrical song and dance as simplistic, heteronormative, and traditional. This collection troubles this over-idealized notion of musical theatre, tackling divas, chorus boys, and the Rockettes; hit shows such as Hamilton and Spring Awakening; and lesser-known but ground-breaking gems like Erin Markey's A Ride on The Irish Cream and Kirsten Childs's Bella: An American Tall Tale.

Gender, Sex and Sexuality in Musical Theatre takes a broad look at musical theatre across a range of intersecting lenses including race, nation, form, dance, casting, marketing, pedagogy, industry, stardom, politics, and platform.
Undermining the musical form's conservative façade, contributors drive home the fact that gender and desire have long been at the heart of the musical. This exciting and vibrant collection of articles takes sex, sexuality and gendered complexity away from the back pages of the musical's programme notes and puts them back on the theatre billboard.
