Hi all, I have to write a 7 page research paper for my "History of the Broadway Musical" class correlating two shows I have seen this semester. I am doing Rent and Wicked (I know, I know. I wanted to do shows that weren't so...hyped...but I dont have a choice). I was thinking of doing the whole outsiders-being integrated into mainstream society (or the fact that they DONT become integrated into mainstream society). Any other ideas for me? Or any ideas where I can research online? Thanks.

I think especially in terms of your class, while some of it can be dedicated to correlations among the story, I think the bigger, more important correlations can be drawn from outside the story. The style of singing/the score, the new audience both have drawn and trends they have started, etc.

I agree. I would write about how both drew younger audiences into the theater community and changed the "modern" show.

How about how both are adored by pre-teenage girls?

I would also bring up how they are adapted from source material that was not as mainstream as the shows have become.

Really, it wasn't funny the first time.

MAYBE you could relate them to how they both accept people:).
