A pink ticket-shaped book cover highlights queer musicals, featuring the title

Queer Musicals: From Boy Meets Boy to Jagged Little Pill, feat. Daisy Eagan & more!

February 15, 2026

Kinky Boots! La Cage aux Folles! The Prom! Those three musicals, plus many others, all brought queer stories out of the closet and put them front and center on Broadway.

Now, to celebrate the progress of queer representation in musicals, 54 Below will be celebrating this rich, legendary history with an all-star musical celebration, all centered around Robert W. Schneider’s new best-selling book Queer Musicals: From Boy Meets Boy to Jagged Little Pill.

Join us on February 15th, for an evening of songs and stories, performed by the legends themselves who were lucky enough to break the glass ceiling. Author Robert W. Schneider will be on hand to share trivia and anecdotes about the musicals that taught the world to celebrate all humanity. Expect some of Broadway’s favorite artists to make an appearance and take you on a historical adventure over the rainbow.
