Justin David Sullivan on May’s Gender Identity and Queer Representation on Broadway

Female empowerment!

Sick!

I like it too!

I think what I like about it is that I am having a very strongly negative reaction to it.

Like, I hate it.

Which makes me think it must be brilliant.

Got this feeling in my body

Can't stop the feeling

Got this feeling in my body

I can't stop the feeling

Gonna sing of your body

I did it! I made it to Broadway!

Hey, come on!

I'm not a girl, don't tell me what to believe

I'm just trying to find a woman in me

Hi, I'm Justin David Sullivan.

I use the pronouns he, she and they

And I play Juliet's best friend, May

While I'm in between

May goes on a journey of self-discovery, finds love and explores their gender identity

I am fiercely proud that there are characters in this show that are in conversation with queer representation

and what it means to find love in a way that perhaps is often seen as unconventional
