http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2011/mar/25/little-transgender-mannequin-could/More "Toy Story" than Judith Butler, "TRANNEQUIN!" is a deliciously funny new musical conceived and created by a handful of "freshmen" from the Yale School of Drama running this weekend at the Yale Cabaret.
The brainchild of the show's cast and crew (but with a book and direction by Ethan Heard DRA '13), "TRANNEQUIN!" tells the story of Georgia, a successful female mannequin working at a high-end department store in New York City. It gets worse before it gets better for Georgia after she realizes her biology as a woman mannequin is poor window dressing for a more complex gender identity that yearns to be free.
