Notes
Lesbihonest, there are not a whole lot of queer female characters in the musical theatre cannon. Here is a playlist of all of the glorious exceptions to that.
Includes music from Fun Home, Rent, The Color Purple, Volleygirls, and more

I only wish Love While You Can from If/Then was on this! Otherwise, this is a fantastic playlist, and I'm gonna have to actually check out some of these!

this playlist is a godsend :) which musical is the cover from though?
⃠RollerMusic December 20, 2014
@mcallren I'm glad you like the playlist! The picture on the cover is actually from Broadway Backwards, an annual concert where famous broadway performers flip the gender of songs to sing them. This a picture of Sierra Boggess and Elizabeth Stanley singing Tonight from West Side Story together.

I just realised -- this is the Tracie Thoms version of TMoLM, isn't it? Fuckyeaher.

I didn't know half these shows existed. Fuckyeah.
⃠RollerMusic December 01, 2014
@emmlf Yeah, a lot of the shows in the playlist are pretty obscure. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Where can I find more Fun Home on here? I love what I have heard of this show so much
⃠RollerMusic November 29, 2014
@anon-785947487 I haven't found any other playlists on here, I actually got all of these songs (with the exception of Ring of Keys, which I got off Soundcloud) from the cast recording I bought. There really isn't to much of the cast recording on the internet. If there is interest, I was going to see if I could upload the cast recording as a playlist. I'll comment again with the link if 8tracks will let me do it.
