I completely agree, though. The women who are in the play are wonderful, nuanced, fully realized female characters that are actually key players in the story rather than props for the men to use and be characterized by. It’s great. But, like…I still want to see women outside of the lover/wife/girlfriend/mistress roles. I want women who aren’t talked about by way of their relation to the protagonist. I want women who FIGHT and LEAD and DEBATE and CONQUER.
I want a female narrator in the musical who is never played for sexy laughs, who gets to be a force driving the story instead of just standing to the sides singing about it. I want a poor, immigrant, probably-queer woman to rise above her circumstances thanks to intelligence and determination and ambition that she isn’t ashamed of. I want a female president and a Queen that no one defines by their gender. I want young women who get to go out drinking and railing against the system. I want girls who pick up their guns and fight for their beliefs. I want a boy to be the one left helpless by love for once. And a boy to be floored and fall for a woman’s intelligence. I even kind of want a boy to be the temptation/home-wrecker/victim of bad marriage. These would be pleasant changes.
Give me Lady Hamilton or give me death, basically. Give me a woman who screams obscenities and gets too excited to keep her mouth shut. Give me another woman who has learned that the world will like her better if she talks less and smiles more. Give me the most powerful, respectable, rational, loved character being a woman that everyone looks up to and needs to impress – a female General in war at all! Give me a girl gang of revolutionaries who turn into the most iconic figures in our nation’s history.
