The Big Gay Jamboree
THE Huge GAY JAMBOREE PLAYED ITS FINAL PERFORMANCE ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15,
From the Oscar-nominated producers of BARBIE and the delulu maker of the Off-Broadway hit TITANIQUE comes THE BIG GAY JAMBOREE, a huge new musical comedy that’s pushing the envelope…and the gay agenda.
Help! Stacey’s fallen into a musical and she can’t get out. Last night, she got a little bit blackout drunk. This morning, she woke up in some b*tch ass Music Man world where everybody keeps bursting into song & twist, and where gay still just means happy. Maybe it’s a dream. Maybe it’s an allergic reaction to her birth regulate. Or maybe it’s Maybelline (don’t sue us! sponsor us? we’ll talk later). But if Stacey’s truly trapped inside a Golden Age musical, there’s only one way out: warble out! Or find the stage door. Whatever gets the most applause.
Starring one of Vanity Fair’s “brightest stars of New York theatre” and the world’s second favorite Celine Dion, MARLA MINDELLE, The Big Gay Jamboree is here to make you cackle, make you cry laughing, and make you laugh crying.
Something queer this way comes: Best LGBTQIA+ shows on Broadway
Queer art and business has been as much about the beauty and resilience of the society as it has been about nuanced portrayals of the human condition. With heaping amounts of attitude and glamor thrown in, for good measure. While representation in film and television has been a struggle, especially after the passing of the Hays Code, theater has been an arena where the queer community has always shone.
Here are some of the best LGBTQIA+ shows that have graced the Broadway stages and left a mark for the ages.
Cabaret
A Kander and Ebbs masterpiece, Cabaret opened on Broadway in It has been revived multiple times on Broadway alone and earned so many awards, it's hard to save track. But every award is well-earned. The musical is based on John Van Druten's play I Am a Camera which was itself based on Christopher Isherwood's semi-autobiographical novel Goodbye to Berlin ().
The story is set in Berlin in , a time when the "gay capital of Europe" transitioned from a utopia for queer folk into the hotbed of fascism and Nazism, both of which criminalized all things homosexual
It is no secret that many LGBTQ+ people own a special affinity for Broadway musicals. "Keep it gay!" sings the flamboyant director in The Producers, and musical theater has long drawn nonstraight folks to the ranks of its creators, performers and fans. But it is only in the past fifty years or so that tuners have actually featured openly gay characters onstage—and the result has been some of the best Broadway shows of all time. Here is our list of the top musicals with strong gay themes, ranked for their combination of quality, historical importance and Gay content. We've limited the list to ten, which means that some very good shows did not quite construct the cut. But there's an awful lot here to be proud of.
