What if all of our voices were heard?
We’d realize we’re more alike than we think - wanting to be accepted for who we truly are.
There are many shows that were created for certain demographics. In the Heights and West Side Story were created for the Latinx/Hispanic community. The Wiz and The Color Purple were created for the Black community. Fun Home and Falsettos were created for the Queer community. These are all vastly important to provide representation on stage for underrepresented groups.
However, there seems to be a category of musicals that is missing from the Broadway repertoire. There are no musicals that show what happens when all these groups come together purposefully. It’s time to create a POLYPHONY of stories to demonstrate what the world could be if we came together.
