I think Lindsay Ellis’ video about Rent is her best video and it discusses the relationship Broadway has to “subversive” musicals that ultimately uphold a status quo

Also, hearing the gay community using the same “healthcare is a right” chant 40 years ago during the AIDS epidemic as we do now is a little harrowing.
