The Great White Way: race and the Broadway musical

Overture : all singin'! all dancin'! all white people?

Act one : 1927-1957

Only make believe : performing race in Show boat

Playing cowboys and Indians : forging whiteness in Oklahoma! and Annie get your gun

Trouble in New York City : the racial politics of West Side story and the Music man

Act two : 1967-2012

Carbon copies : Black and interracial productions of white musicals

A chorus line : the Benetton of Broadway musicals

Everything old is new again : nostalgia and the Broadway musical at the end of the twentieth century

Exit music.
