(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

In the "updated" version of Company, Bobby is bisexual.
Not Quite.
Bobby admits to having had a homosexual experience. That does not make him bi. (Many straight men have had same sex eperiences, it is NOT that uncommon!)
However, Peter (Susan's husband) tells Bobby he has has several experiences with other men (the new script doesn't state that this was the reason that Peter and Susan divorced but are still living together, but it offers a clue that wasn't there originally.) So, it would seem that Peter is bi.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

umm....I can't believe no one mentioned Zanna Don't! (Zanna! - whatever it's called nowadays)
Granted it's supposed to alternative universe, but all but 2 characters are gay up until the finale pretty much...
If I show you the darkness I hold inside, will you bring me to light?

There is a whole website dedicated to gay musicals. Link below.
Gay Musicals
MassOfMen on 5/17/07: "and lastly, I have no vested interest in LB. I have seen the show, I paid my money (a lot of money for that tix) I didn't watch it on a bootleg, yes I saw the flesh and bone of the people up there working their tails off. But do I really have to explain myself to you? are you the judge jury and executioner of Bwyworld.com message board? no.
But I digress, I will leave this subject as I am bored of the rebuttals anyway, and go back to "wasting my time" with the job of building buildings. We have chat boards for architects as well, ya know."

Posted: 2/16/06 at 4:34pmI really want to say Lord of the Rings: the Musical, but only because I'm convinced that Sam Gamgee is gay.
Hear the words I sing: war's a horrid thing. So, I sing sing sing... Ding a ling a ling.

"...But Kungurtseva reels off multiple fouettes and the tape is stopped so she can take a bow. The Jester, an abomination introduced to Swan Lake in Soviet times, extorts applause from the audience. The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending.
The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."

I didn't know that about Mamma Rose. Anyhow this is going to be silly. She was a lesbian and she had daughters? Well...most lesbians do and probably back then she had to have a husband. But how come it's known she was a lesbian?
