#224 - Queer Characters (Broadway, feat. Paul Canaan, Telly Leung): Recently, Jackson Cline of The Ensemblist has been asking myself several questions about queer representation in musical theatre. How has the portrayal and inclusion of queer characters evolved over the years? Are more queer artists getting opportunities to tell these stories, both onstage and behind the scenes? And does giving queer-identifying individuals opportunities to create queer roles create a richer theatrical experience for the audience? Over the course of this mini-series, we’ll dive into these questions and hear from some of the talented artists who have put their stamps on Queer Characters on Broadway. Today, we’re going to take a journey through time, looking at the evolution of queer stories told in Broadway musicals. Keep in mind that this is just an overview. As much as I’d love to take a deep dive into every queer character to appear in a Broadway musical, that episode would be several days long. S by The Ensemblist
