in 2003. Now BoHo Theatre is about to up that total by one with its new production, to be staged at the Edge Theater beginning January 12.1/12-2/5: Thu-Fri 7:30 PM, Sat 3 and 7:30 PM, Sun 3 PM; also industry night Mon 1/30 7:30 PM; open captions Sat 1/21 and 1/28 3 PM; Edge Theater, 5451 N.
“It definitely adds an extra layer of nuance to our production,” Frazier notes. “It has been really fun to subvert gender norms with the staging of these characters.” More than Phan’s gender identity makes them a unique Jonathan. “Jonathan Larson was a white, cishet man, and this version of him created forhas been portrayed almost exclusively by white, cishet actors. Despite his anxieties, the character knows his worth and talent—a wild, foreign concept to me!”
Frazier says that, while the focus of the show is on Larson’s attempt to break free from the predetermined structure of the Broadway musical rather than anything to do with the playwright’s or character’s identity, the notion of putting on this show with a trans and gender nonconforming cast derives from some of its lyrics.
