Her turn on stage : the role of women in musical theatre

Grace Barnes

Description

Audiences for musical theater are predominantly women, yet the shows onstage are frequently created and produced by men. Onstage, female characters are often victims or sex objects and lack the complexity of their male counterparts. Offstage, women are under-represented. While other areas of the arts rally behind gender equality, musical theater seems to disregard women.
