Musical theatre is an important part of LGBTQ+ culture, but how effectively do our musicals represent lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex and asexual creatives and audience members in all their fabulous glory? Dr James Lovelock, curator of www.queermusicals.com, is joined by special guests from across the musical theatre industry to think about how these productions are creating spaces that centre queerness and represent LGBTQ+ people of different genders, races and lived experiences. Join us to celebrate how our queer identites are challenging conventions and creating a bold new future for musical theatre! This podcast is funded by the University of Wolverhampton.

In today's episode, we talk to Terique Jarrett and Elander Moore about queer and black representation in theatre and musicals. We discuss Terique's role in Daddy: A Melodrama by Jeremy O.Harris at the Almeida Theatre, and Elander's performances in The Barbershop Chronicles by Inua Ellams and The Normal Heart by Larry Kramer at the National Theatre and on tour.
I met Terique and Elander accidentally at Legally Blonde at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre so we talk about representation in this production as well as mentioning Elander's spoken word performances and Terique's connection to the TV series Hustle.
