It seems like there are oodles of plays, but I can only think of a few musicals. What am I missing?
I'm thinking of:
Falsettos (and the trilogy from which it originated)
bare: a pop opera
Bare: The Musical
A Man of No Importance
The Book of Mormon
The Color Purple
What's out there that I'm not thinking of? I'm looking for musicals where the show makes explicit both the character's queerness (they verbally state that they're part of the LGBTQ community or otherwise express same-sex attraction or a diverse gender identity) and faith (they state that they belong to a faith community or are shown participating in activities of a faith community), rather than something where you can read a character as queer.

Someone a few months ago did a whole chart identifying tropes of LGBTQ characters in musicals. Wish I could find it to help you out.
Edit: Found it! At the very least it'll give you a list of shows with LGBTQ characters to look at.
