Studies in Musical Theatre 18.3 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to present Studies in Musical Theatre 18.3!

Special Issue: ‘The Musical-Theatrical Global South’

While conventional scholarship often overlooks the Global South, this collection of articles brings attention to the rich genealogies of song, dance and theatre in these regions, complicating the traditional definition of the ‘musical’. The issue further examines the political dimensions of musical theatre in the Global South which engage with complex historical narratives. Roundtable discussions with scholars and creators from countries such as Brazil, Lebanon, India, Nigeria and South Africa provide insights into the intersections between local traditions.
