Katie Welsh: The Evolution of the Broadway Musical Heroine

Katie travels through the decades, from the 1940s to the 2010s, on a quest to understand how Broadway’s leading ladies have changed over time. For example, what makes a Rodgers & Hammerstein heroine different from a Sondheim heroine? How do our favorite female characters navigate the world of relationships in similar and different ways? Katie sings songs from a range of beloved musicals, including Oklahoma!, South Pacific, Bells Are Ringing, Sweet Charity, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and many more.
