Musical reccomendations from Xion🌈 ✨
-Wicked-
Probably the most famous musical on this list. It tells the backstory of the Wicked Witch of the West who was ostracised for her green skin and is eventually villainised by the rest of her society, as well as her unlikely friendship with Galinda
-Rent-
Another well-known one. Rent “tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in Lower Manhattan's East Village” and features many queer characters, some of which are struggling with AIDS
-Kinky Boots-
Ok Xion LOVES this musical. It tells of how a shoe factory owner befriends Lola, a drag queen, and together they produce boots suitable for cis and trans women as well as drag queens alike. This song is sung by Lola:
Bonus!
Xion actually hasnt watched this musical but he has talked about wanting to see it:
-Everyone’s Talking About Jamie-
“The musical follows a 16-year-old teenager as he overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness to become a drag queen.”
This song is about Jamie announcing his first drag show (w some backlash):
I’m sure he’s reccomended alot more but these are all that i’ve personally heard him say in vlives or seen other people’s translations of him talking about these musicals https://twitter.com/keithebae/status/1281960581721776128
I just wanted to make this thread because I love musical theatre! Despite some problems, it’s one of the most open and loving comminities I know. I’m so happy Dongju is a part of it too!
He is also such a big fan of many musicals centered around the lgbtq community and talks about them alot!! It’s a win for the gays🤩
Also some parts are quoted because I copied them from wikipedia XD
