      abstract = {From Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls" to Nina in "In the  Heights" and Elphaba in "Wicked," female characters in  Broadway musicals have belted and crooned their way into  the American psyche. In this lively book, Stacy Wolf  illuminates the women of American musical  theatre--performers, creators, and characters--from the  start of the Cold War to the present day, creating a new,  feminist history of the genre. The musicals discussed here  are among the most beloved in the canon--"West Side Story,"  "Cabaret," "A Chorus Line," "Phantom of the Opera," and  many others--with special emphasis on the blockbuster  "Wicked." Along the way, Wolf demonstrates how the musical  since the mid-1940s has actually been dominated by  women--women onstage, women in the wings, and women  offstage as spectators and fans.},
