Broadway Jukebox: Broadway Baddies
Who is YOUR favorite musical theatre villain?
By: Team BWW Oct. 07, 2023
Not every character always takes the moral highground. While not all Broadway antagonists are truly evil, many choose to act on deceit, corruption, and plain old bad judgement. This spooky season, we're exploring the often complex psyches of some of our favorite musical theatre villains.
Enjoy songs from musicals like: The Wiz, Beetlejuice, Hadestown, Mean Girls, Into the Woods, Sweeney Todd, Les Miserables, Shucked, Annie, Beauty and the Beast, Damn Yankees, Jesus Christ Superstar, Oklahoma!, Once on This Island, and more!
