THEA 1409 - QUEER BROADWAY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Long Description The American musical has long found some of its most devoted and enthusiastic fans in LGBTQ+ communities. This class is less concerned with why this has come to pass than how. Moving across memoirs, cast recordings, activist protest, daytime television, diva worship, social media, cruise ships, drag shows, and experimental theatre, we will examine how queer communities engage musical theatre to various social, cultural, and political ends. While focusing on LGBTQ+ communities, we will also draw upon the insights of queer theory to analyze how musicals generate a¿queera forms of attachment for people inhabiting a range of identities in and beyond the United States.
