What musicals have to do with Homosexuality?? I know its an odd question, but Im just curious. I happen to be homosexual myself so its not like i have anything against it. Now I know the obvious, Rent, La Cage Aux Folles...but what are some others??

Thanks Margo :). And I just want to say, I am not starting this post to start any arguing. I honestly am just curious.

Seriously, do a search. You'll find a ridiculous amount in another thread. I'm too lazy to do it myself right now.

generally, your strongest ties to homosexuality onstage in musicals is william finn... falsettos, a new brain and elegies... but falsettos and la cage are the two gay musicals, though they take the most different approaches!!

Maybe Margo can help with this.
I remember seeing a gay play called "Party" many years ago.
I think it was in that row of theatres on far west 42nd St.

You mean that awful little comedy about seven queens in an apartment (with every poster of "Sweet Charity" known to man on the wall), sort of a 4th rate knock-off of Boys in the Band and Love! Valour! Compassion! that ended up with them all naked at the end singing a Karen Carpenter song? I got dragged to that and honestly was desperate to walk out after about ten minutes of it, but unfortunately I was in the middle of a row and it would have been just too rude.
