    Defying Gravity, Silence, and Societal Expectations: Social Movement Leadership and Hegemony in the Musical Wicked A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Valerie Lynn Schrader June 2010 © 2010 Valerie Lynn Schrader. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Defying Gravity, Silence, and Societal Expectations: Social Movement Leadership and Hegemony in the Musical Wicked by VALERIE LYNN SCHRADER has been approved for the School of Communication Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Jerry L. Miller Associate Professor of Communication Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT SCHRADER, VALERIE LYNN, Ph.D., June 2010, Communication Studies Defying Gravity, Silence, and Societal Expectations: Social Movement Leadership and Hegemony in the Musical Wicked (280 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Jerry L. Miller This dissertation examines the rhetoric of social movement leadership and hegemony in the musical Wicked, suggesting that the musical offers “equipment for living” to its audience members. Constructing a rhetorical text using the New York performance script, sheet music, cast recording, and three performances of Wicked, I analyzed the musical through an extended version of cluster criticism, clustering themes rather than terms to form meanings. Chapter 1 of this dissertation provides an introduction to the study, a rationale, and a preview to the rest of the dissertation. Chapter 2 presents a literature review that informs the rest of the study. This chapter includes literature on L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its many offspring, as well as a brief history of American musical theatre and its use as a method of societal critique.
