Top 10 LGBTQ+ Characters in Musicals
VOICE OVER: Emily Brayton
WRITTEN BY: Jessica Walsh
These are the best LGBTQ+ musical theatre characters! They're queer, they're proud, and and they make us want to sing along. For this list, we're looking at queer characters from both on and off Broadway like Emma Nolan & Alyssa Greene from “The Prom” and Lola from “Kinky Boots”. Our picks are canonically queer, so as much as we love the idea that Elsa might have a girlfriend in a future Frozen installment, she unfortunately doesn't count...yet. Oh, and there may be some minor spoilers ahead! Join MsMojo as we count down our picks for the Top 10 LGBTQ Musical Theater Characters.
