Using a frame of feminist and psychoanalytical positions, Gina MacKenzie establishes, defines, and interprets mother figures in contemporary Broadway, according to original categorizations of the absent, inconsequential, and overbearing mothers. MacKenzie considers how and why commercial representation of mother figures are limited and predominantly negative, even as fiction, poetry, and other forms of drama offer a much wider and progressive view of the varieties of motherhood possible in society, asserting the need for greater representation of mother figures in commercial musical theatre today. .Pivotal Studies in the Global American Literary ImaginationLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryPerforming artsTheaterMusicContemporary LiteratureTheatre and Performance ArtsMusicLiterature, Modern20th century.Literature, Modern21st century.Performing arts.Theater.Music.Contemporary Literature.Theatre and Performance Arts.Music.809782.14097471MacKenzie Gina Masucciauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1146083MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484341003321Maternal Representations in Twenty-First Century Broadway Musicals2845868UNINA
