Abstract

In this multi-voiced essay, eight authors answer, “What do we do with the musical theatre canon?” Each assesses the traditional canon and suggests ways to diversify it. From their positions as educators and artists across gender, race, and class, they offer ways to navigate the challenge of this theatrical genre.
