Female Musical Theater Writers - Part II

As promised in the last post, here’s the count of female creatives on upcoming Broadway shows:

Not counting the Melissa Ethridge show, there are 23 writers of book, music and/or lyrics on the 10 upcoming Broadway musicals announced as of 10/2/23. Of the 23, 4 are women, 19 are men.

How to Dance in Ohio: Rebeka Greer Melocik

The Notebook: Bekah Brunstetter and Ingrid Michaelson

The Wiz: Amber Ruffin will “provide additional materials.”

In absolute numbers, that’s annoying, right? (I’m annoyed.)
