Encores! Unscripted: Sexism. Racism. Show Tunes. Discuss.
A baby chorusline in the 1951 Broadway revue Two on the Aisle.
How can we make sense of an art form that has produced so many beautiful songs and perpetuated so many ugly stereotypes?
We explore that question with the help of Tony Award winners Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof), Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Jelly’s Last Jam), Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home). Hosted by Encores! Artistic Director Jack Viertel. Part of our Encores! Unscripted series.
You can also watch live here at 7pm ET.
