Music Theatre of Madison is thrilling audiences with Beyond the Ingenue, running from Nov. 9 to Nov. 10.
Girl power, musical theatre style! Ingenue characters, who appear in most musicals, are defined by various sources as "naive," "unwordly," "unsophisticated," "innocent," "young and with little experience," and more. One thing is for sure: They don't represent the women of 2018. In this extraordinary revue, we'll portray female characters struggling with and embracing the issues that affect today's women. Rare gems, brand new works, and a couple of well-known tunes will explore friendships, sexuality, aging, heartbreak, gender-identity, self-acceptance, motherhood, and more. The icing on the cake? Most are written by female composers and lyricists! Join MTM as we look to pieces that empower and unite female characters as we journey Beyond The Ingenue.
In addition to public performances, this piece will travel to libraries, community centers, retirement homes, and schools to illustrate the power of women onstage for the broadest possible audience. Check back soon for complete location information!
