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 among writers, directors, composers and
choreographers. While other areas of the arts rally behind gender
equality, musical theater seems to demonstrate a disregard for
women. If musical theater reflects prevailing attitudes, what does
the modern musical tell us about attitudes towards women in
America, the UK and Australia? Are women kept out of musical
theater by men jealously guarding their territory or is the absence
of women a result of commercialization and mechanization of the
genre? Based on interviews with women performers, writers,
directors, choreographers and executives, this book addresses these
questions and offers a female viewpoint on musical theater today.
