I am maybe going to do an English project on Broadway shows that have homosexuality as a theme. If anyone knows and I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Justice, do you mean THE LISBON TRAVIATA?

And I don't think that a kiss during an acceptance speech is what is meant by homosexuality in the theatre. If that were the case you could write a whole thesis on some of the action going on in the dressing rooms.

Yes, Wildcat...thank you...

Does
"It's Only a Play" count as one?

Don't forget The Ballad of Little Mikey, the one that started it all.

And the work of William Finn is essential in the evolution of the gay musical, of course.
