Ep 5: Cole Porter & The Queers Who Invented Broadway

From its earliest days, the Broadway Musical has to a very large degree, been a Queer creation. In this episode David Armstrong shares the fascinating stories of early queer producing and life partners Charles Frohman and Charles Dillingham; the first great gay director Hassard Short; drag superstars Julian Eltinge & Bert Savoy; the "Pansy Craze"; and the delightful, delicious and delovely Cole Porter! Special thanks to Billie Wildrick and David Sabella for their vocal contributions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
