musical theatre characters that should have been gay 

forgot to mention this!!

I thought that regina thought she was a lesbian but she actually said 'lebanese'

@@heyjude6680 i believe you're thinking of santana in glee !

@arandum Hufflepuff oh cool ! i haven't seen the movie in a while ahah oops

I'm a lesbian and I don't think so. People are allowed to have whatever opinions they want, but my take is no. I think because accusing her of being one was one of Regina's main targets for bullying it wouldn't be wise to make her gay. Maybe bi, if you want to go based on stereotypes of style and personality, but if she really was gay, then it makes regina a canon homophobe, and technically correct in what she says. The reason things like not inviting her to a pool party because she's gay make her seem too sensitive and overprotective of her image, rather than outright cruel is because they aren't even true. Instead of being bigotry backed up by facts, I like reginas character as just wrong in her choices. But if the writers say it i can't dispute. Just my opinion

Or the meme that's like: Your gay? Always have been

@@kiki8792god, I’m seeing you all over the internet. How???

Omg omg omg yes!!!

That last section in Thank Goodness is such blatant comphet.

AGREED! "They're ROOMMATES GAWD"

In the book its alot less platonic

Let’s face it: Gelphie was better than any other couple in Wicked. There is a video on RU-vid called „Wicked is gay“. It is one hour long and I recommend it to any other Gelphieshipper.

it really has 🥰

IKR

and i love it

@@AmyLovatt1 I feel like I know you better!!!🥰🥰🥰

I know! The difference in her overall vibe and energy is wonderful. Just seems so much happier, she's got her spark back! 👏👏

Me reading the book: I agree with you.

I know it's not the same meaning but as i was reading the book i found this line i kid you not "He was excessively gay" eXCUSE

Hahha yes yes yes

YES OH MY GOD

YES PLEASE

Litt

Yeah I’m pretty sure she was a lesbian in the movie

Yeah in the movie they explicitly say she’s lesbian but I don’t think it’s mentioned in the musical

I thought it was canon or at least heavily implied. Idk if this was just the production I did but at one point Elle does a bend and snap in front of her classmates and Warner says “do that again” and Enid goes “please!” plus she’s the one wants to watch Brookes workout videos which all heavily implies an attraction to women

@@leahk2085 yeah, i saw the musical and what you said + her getting offended when i-forgot-his-name-creepy-professor-lawyer-dude says: "oh you lesbians think you're so tough" just made me think she's canonically a lesbian

The teacher guy says she's a lesbian in the first scene but he's just using it as an insult so you never find out if it's true.

Rum tum tugger and Mr.Mistofeles are TOTALLY GAY FOR EACH OTHER!

I feel like they have a relationship like chad and ryan from HSM 2

@@mariocalderon7066 hhdjdjdjdhdj YES! They have the exact same vibe

@@mariocalderon7066 Yessssssss! Rum Tum Tugger sings about how amazing Misto is for like seven minutes. He's totally in love

YES! This is what I was coming here to say

omg one of my fav theater channels is on another one of my fav theater channels

@@beck4557 Ikr!?

OMG hi Barbara!

@@ChrisCB0328 Hey hey Sarah :)

@Ryleigh Odell it isn’t het, simple 😍

is anyone straight in heather's?

@@anna-bunchofrandomnumbers so JD-

i saw something once that was like jd: so let me get this straight-- veronica: you mean, let me run this *bi* you heather chandler: let's see how this *pan*s out heather duke: how about we take a moment to *ace*-ess the situation heather mcnamara: i am a lesbian.

@@anna-bunchofrandomnumbers Miss Fleming. She's the token straight

Chandler is just like the definition of lesbian and I love it >:))

Hahaha just lockdown things

In the brick!!! I am 💀

@@AmyLovatt1 I love the brick with all my heart 🤧 my favourite ya comedy; Vicky Hugo had one job and he did it right

I know everyone hates the movie, but I'm almost positive the guy who played Grantaire said he played Grantaire as having the hots for Enjolras. Maybe it was just a Tumblr rumor

@@casey8725 yes!! He even posted a song cover of ‘I will follow you into the dark’ to youtube and changed the lyrics to represent the E/R relationship!

Enjolras is my ace gay. Like there's too much assexual inuendo in him on the brick but there's also the whole R thing soo for me he is an ace gay. And Courf had a crush in Marius cause no way he would f*ck up his whole future on colege for a random student and he always is calling Marius handsome and all

4. Mama Morton is 100% gay. I don't think she's attracted to men at all.

Mungo and Rumple are twins, lol

Yes, I agree with you 100% (especially about BJ) In the "Legally Blonde" musical, doesn't the professor refer to Enid's sexual preference as lesbian during "Blood in the Water"?

@@cstars1255 I think we all know being called a lesbian and identifying as one aren't the same, and his character is an ass, so it's hard to say

Enid didn't hide it though. She was clearly very much enjoying Brooks' movements in Whipped into Shape and Elle's Bend and Snap when she said "please" after Warner asked Elle to do it again. I don't think they could have made it more obvious except having her explicitly say she was a lesbian.

Oh my god you’re so right!

There's also the bit in Whipped Into Shape where she keeps watching Brooke's workout tape

also glinda spends all the rest of her life longing for elphie, practically raising her offspring 😂 i swear to god maguire gave glinda like 5 pages in 4 books but every word is charged with feelings for elphaba

No I don't take constructive criticism

He really did. I mean in the final battle scene in the books, Grantaire sleeps through the entire thing because he's a drunk bitch and when he wakes up him and Ejolras are the only ones left. And then they face the army and hold hands as they get killed. They HOLD HANDS. That's the gayest you could do at the time. It is also explained that Grantaire didn't join the revolution because he believed in it, he just joined because he admired Enjolras and wanted to spend time with him. You can't tell me that's not gay. Grantaire is just fully gay for Enjolras. I think Enjolras is a bit too busy with the revolution to take the time for romantic relationships, but the way he looks at Grantaire (in the movie and on stage) just screams gay.

That’s your interpretation mate, for me Enjolras is the best representation of an aromantic asexual character I have ever seen in any media, period, and I do think that’s what Hugo was going for. When he’s talking to himself about who his mistress is, he doesn’t say me boi grantaire, or some other dude he has hooked up. He says Patria, implying that his life is just as fulfilling and meaningful and filled with passion without any romantic attachment at all. I kind of get where people are coming from when they think he’s gay. Things like “he did not seem to know that on earth existed such a thing as women” and the whole achilles patroclus thing are good arguments. But they only are good arguments until you realise that the first thing is also a very aroace thing to say and that comparing anyone to any greek character makes them sound gay because they were all gay. Enjolras being gay is just subtext while Enjolras being aroace is actually text and it’s really good representation especially considering no one had even come up with a word for human asexuality in the time the book was written and people who interpret him as gay usually don’t even consider the possibility of him just being ace. This is the hill I am forever going to die on. Grantaire really is super gay for Enjolras though.

@@kristinaporter2629 Agree, Enjolras doesn't have romantic feelings for anyone in the book, he only has eyes for the Republic. As a bisexual, I see Grantaire as bisexual, cause he flirts with women in the canon but he is clearly in love with Enjolras (though he's feelings are unrequited)

I know! I was watching the whole Les Misérables section of the video thinking “why isn’t this on her canon list??? Has she just not read the book??” Maybe she hasn’t...

YES It's actually genius!

Sooooo true!!!!

Cinderella feels like compulsive heterosexuality , I know half of it is projection but I feel like she went to the ball to see women and ended up with a man

@@BrookeAlesya omg yes i totally agree!

I think she remembered cats wrong. Aren't rumple' and mungo' girl boy siblings. How can they be gay. It was always mr mistof' and rum tug that had chemistry. I guess she hadn't seen cats in a while and mixed up the cats

Yeah I don't think anyone can argue against pan bj

@@Natalie-101 The fact that he makes out with both Adam and Barbara is pretty much confirmation. Also, he just gives off chaotic lgbtq+ kid vibes. I would love for him to be nb, but I'm not sure if I remember anything being said about that in the musical, and everyone that I've seen online refers to him with he/him pronouns.

@@jamiehood850 I’m sure Alex Brightman has said he would love to see anyone of any gender, binary or not, play Beetlejuice because he is a being of pure chaos so doesn’t really have a gender

@@jamiehood850 nonbinary doesn't mean only they/them pronouns

@@snorunty1 I didn't actually see that! That's so cool. We need more nb representation in theater.

omg same (please never shut up about it!!!)

that's what i always got from the book too.

enjolras is also compared to apollo and apollo is our bisexual icon as he has been in the most same sex relationships compared to the other gods. and all the greek gods are definitely not straight.

I will also never shut up about them. It’s canon and nothing can change my mind!

Ehh... It's definitely stated as clearly as Victor Hugo could get away with at the time considering that homosexuality was considered a mental illness that Grantaire was in love with Enjolras, but it's also very made abundantly clear that's a completely one-sided thing on Grantaire's part. Enjolras is quite clearly coded to be aro-ace more than anything else - it's outright stated (multiple times) that his biggest love is "Patria" (i.e. France itself) and in Hugo's initial character description of Enjolras, there's an entire paragraph dedicated to explaining that said love for his country has all but completely taken the place of any romantic love Enjolras might potentially feel. Every interaction he has with Grantaire is basically about R blatantly being in love with him and Enjolras being either unwilling to acknowledge it or legitimately unable to reciprocate. Sorry, it's just that as an ace myself, there's honestly very little that annoys me more than ace-Enjy erasure, considering novel-Enjolras was one of the first (and still very few) examples of actually healthy (albeit coded) asexuality where it's not implied to be due to some mental deficiency or trauma or capable of being "fixed"...

although that is tru and i really want that, wicked wouldn’t do as well on broadway and the west end if it was like that, ESPECIALLY back in 2003 and probably until about 2012

Have you read the book? It’s very much canon.

Oh my god this is incredible!!!!

The more you know.

freaking BEAUTIfUL

jack x davey is lowkey my otp so this made me happy lol but i didn't even notice that in that line what- imma use this as proof that they're both vy fruity now tysm

I didn't even begin to think of it but now that I do,, she is such an adorable cottagecore lesbian.

YES

THANK YOU

Literally her character as a lesbian just makes so much more sense because it’s said multiple times in the show that it’s only okay if she calls Damien ‘too gay to function’ and I just feel like no matter how close her and Damien are if she said this as a straight person there would be homophobic undertones too it but I’m so glad musical Janis didn’t end up with Kevin

if they had her confirmed her as a lesbian the "lebanese" joke would not have worked

🥺

i’m honestly pretty sure it’s cannon

Totally here for this

please tell me: at the end of out of oz, who do you think opens glinda’s prison cell???? do you think...??????? maybe?????

@@lent_ils 👀👀👀 maybe......... 💚

@@whatisausername7679 😊😊

Can't they be both be bi?

@@shelbymckinney8888 sure they can but that's my headcanon soo 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, I can totally see the that, especially in Mal from Descendants. Mal and Evie were totally more than best friends and you can fight me on that

Omg I love this

@@AmyLovatt1 the first time I’ve listened to that song I thought they sang loving instead of loathing

'unadulterated loving' 👀

Ngl i don’t think that really counts as canon, because the novel wasn’t written by the creators of the show and took a lot of other creative liberties as well.

@@toxicsugarart2103 on my book it says written by Val Emmich with Steven Levenshulme, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (crraters of the hit show). So actually...

@@maddieevans8342 that’s just obligatory credit to the original creators, it doesn’t mean they actually had any involvement in the novel.

@@toxicsugarart2103 okay well read the acknowledgements then

@Ariella Waters oof that’s disappointing to me. (Not because they made Connor not straight or anything, I just have a lot of other issues with the book lol)

your profile pic is my fave :)

this-this is beautiful

As someone who has played Mama Morton in the past, can confirm.

And this is my new favorite headcanon now

congrats on coming out!! :))

@@ErikDijk thank you! :)

Wait I do that

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

YES, i must've knew that because I did that with my BMC boyfs sims when university came out! ( now they're married)

Ooooh I’m also here for ace enjolras

He has major nervous gay vibes

I SUPPORT

"straight" up

we stan your cat

Bicon for SURE

disaster bi

Incredibly bold of anyone to assume that literally any Starkid character is straight.

@@Caroline28483 lol facts I’m sorry

Ohh thank you ☺️ see you tomorrow then!

oh my god I KNOW! the orange jumpsuit tied around her hips 😳

Ooh thank you! I am still intending on making one, I just need to get round to doing it haha!

I know this comment was intended for Amy, but this has absolutely just made my day. Thank you!
