This collection troubles this over-idealized notion of musical theatre, tackling divas, chorus boys, and the Rockettes; hit shows such as \u003ci\u003eHamilton\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSpring Awakening\u003c\/i\u003e; and lesser-known but groundbreaking gems like Erin Markey's \u003ci\u003eA Ride on The Irish Cream\u003c\/i\u003e and Kirsten Childs's \u003ci\u003eBella: An American Tall Tale\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book takes a broad look at musical theater across a range of intersecting lenses including race, nation, form, dance, casting, marketing, pedagogy, industry, stardom, politics, and platform. Undermining the musical form's conservative façade, scholars drive home the fact that gender and desire have long been at the heart of the musical. This exciting and vibrant collection of articles takes sex, sexuality, and gendered complexity out of the musical's liner notes and back above the marquee.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKelly Kessler\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of media and cinema studies at the College of Communication at De Paul University in Chicago.
