I am so interested now in learning more about the tons of shows that were mentioned. But it was all over the place that I don’t even remember enough of what it was that I wanted to learn more about. Also, there was definitely extreme focus on certain shows with little reference to others that played a huge role in the history of queer rep on Broadway such as Falsettos and Rent which were both mentioned but Rent especially was barely so. While I don’t think I would have been able to stay focused enough to read a print copy, the audio book definitely did not help with my confusion/ losing track. Still very glad I learned about this book though as I truly learned a lot and with one of my special interests being theatre, this fits perfectly.
