JENder BENDER

Travel back to the Golden Age of Musical Theater and live it as never before – In this stunning musical comedy/cabaret, JEN FELLMAN dives deep into gender and identity in the Golden Age musical and beyond. Join her, as she reclaims the roles and repertoire once written only for men, and gives new voice to the Golden Age leading ladies through a queer lens in 2026. A coming-of-age story where boundaries blur, gender is flipped, identity is reimagined, and these glorious songs take on new meaning in today’s world. The Golden Age that could have been – the Golden Age through the female gaze. With the music of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Loewe, Stephen Sondheim and more. Director: Steve Pacek | Music Director: Drew Wutke
