A 1-hour “musical lecture” exploring 15 Broadway musical heroines, followed by a talkback. Katie investigates how Broadway’s leading ladies have changed over time. What makes a Rodgers & Hammerstein heroine different from a Sondheim heroine? How do female characters navigate the world of relationships in similar and different ways? Katie considers these questions as she sings songs from Oklahoma!, South Pacific, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and more.
