Reflecting on the current political landscape for the LGBTQ+ community, which includes an onslaught of legislation targeting trans rights and the drag art-form, Cameron says it’s “more important than ever to inundate the media with drag performances” and “openly queer characters”. We don’t have as many as we all would’ve hoped at the time Cabaret premiered,” says Cameron. “We were speaking about this yesterday, we need more queer visibility in musicals and more overtly, openly gay characters in our musicals. With “how transformative Cabaret was at the time for queer visibility” in 1966, Cameron and her co-star Aaron Tveit tell GAY TIMES that they’re dissatisfied with the lack of progress for LGBTQ+ storylines and characters in the musical genre.
