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 this episode, I chat with Roshani Abbey (& Juliet, Hamilton) and Flora Leo (Show & Tell, The Lightning Road, Stiles and Drewe Best New Song winner) about female queer representation in musical theatre and television. We discuss Triangularity, one of Flora's current writing projects as we explore new ways to tell queer stories that challenge the harmful tropes and stereotypes in queer representation.
