Why Can't a Woman: Composers and Lyricists Edition

In 2013’s Why Can’t a Woman, Kimberly Lawson explored the often ridiculous and unrealistic roles created for women on Broadway throughout history. But what happens when women are included in the creative process? Do the women on stage become multi-dimensional? What voices and stories still struggle to be heard? Join us as we explore and pay tribute to the women of musical theater.


Featuring Kimberly Lawson

Music Direction by Andra Velis Simon

With Special Guests North Rory Homeward, JD Caudill, and De'Jah Perkins

WOZ: A Rock Cabaret

After selling out shows across Chicago, “WOZ: A Rock Cabaret” returns by popular demand to Victory Gardens on June 14.  Now joined by Tony Award winner André De Shields as the Wizard, these Ozians will follow the yellow brick road to the tune of iconic and rock anthems from the 80s and 90s. It’s like your favorite radio station but better…because it has witches and munchkins. The original cast is back featuring Kimberly Lawson, Heather Currie, Clara D’Onofrio, Edward Fraim, David Lipschutz, James Nedrud, Kevin Webb, and Sarah Wurz. Created by Kimberly Lawson and Will Rogers, Directed by Scott Gryder, and Musical Direction by Nick Sula.

Why Can't a Woman: A Feminist Perspective of Broadway

When a young girl grows up in St. Louis and only has national tours and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to depend upon for the magic of Broadway, her role models quickly begin to mirror those of the stage.  But are Julie Jordan, Mama Rose, and Eponine really the best examples of women Broadway has to offer?  Join Kimberly Lawson as she joyfully tackles Broadway's leading ladies, and demands stronger characters for the future.
