  • LGBTQ+ Representation in Musical Theatre

"LGBTQ+ Representation in Musical Theatre." Merge, vol. 4, no. 6, 2020, pp. 102-134. This Article is brought to you for free and open access by ATHENA COMMONS. It has been accepted for inclusion in Merge by an authorized editor of ATHENA COMMONS. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 102 Courtney Thompson LGBTQ+ Representation in Musical Theatre Musical theatre has been associated with the LGBTQ+ community, especially gay men, for years. Because of this close association and how society’s views have changed towards the community, LGBTQ+ representation has changed on stage as well. The stereotyping of all members of the community has made it to the stage at one point or another; with the most recent LGBTQ+ movements, these stereotypes have changed and are depicted on the stage fewer times in favor of a more realistic approach. While the stereotypes are still there and have not been excluded entirely from musical theatre, LGBTQ+ characters are now being portrayed more realistically and in a way that the community can be proud of instead of finding the characterization offensive. Through a careful analysis of three musicals ranging from 1992-2015, this project shows exactly how the representation of LGBTQ+ characters has changed and defied the stereotypes placed on the community.
