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. . 410 0$aPivotal Studies in the Global American Literary Imagination,$x2946-4080 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aMusic 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 606 $aMusic 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aMusic. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 615 24$aMusic. 676 $a809 676 $a782.14097471 700 $aMacKenzie$b Gina Masucci$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01146083 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484341003321 996 $aMaternal Representations in Twenty-First Century Broadway Musicals$92845868 997 $aUNINA
