Changed for Good: A Feminist History of the Broadway Musical
Wolf, Stacy (Associate Professor in Theater, Associate Professor in Theater, Lewis Center for the Arts, Princeton University)
From Maria in "West Side Story" to Tracy Turnblatt in "Hairspray" and Elphaba in "Wicked," female characters in Broadway musicals have belted and crooned their way into the American psyche. In this lively book, Stacy Wolf illuminates the women of American musical theater-performers, creators, and characters-from the start of the cold war to the present day, creating a new, feminist history of the genre, which finds often overlooked moments of empowerment for femaleaudience members. Moving from decade to decade, Wolf first highlights the assumptions that circulated about gender and sexuality at the time, and then looks at the leading musicals, stressing the key aspects of the plays as they relate to women. The musicals discussed here are among the most belovedin the canon-"West Side Story," "Guys & Dolls," "Cabaret," "Phantom of the Opera," and many others-with special emphasis on the blockbuster "Wicked." Along the way, Wolf demonstrates how the musical since the mid-1940s has actually been dominated by women-women onstage, women in the wings, and women offstage as spectators and fans.
