Morgan James has five Broadway credits, five solo albums — including her newest, “Memphis Magnetic” — and literally tens of millions of views on YouTube.

This is a celebration of the women in musical theatre that have inspired ALL fans of the genre, from Tony-winning household names to lyricists, directors, and even the strong female characters (and a sprinkling of men who contributed to their creations) who have defined the modern musical theatre. And even with just 26 letters in the alphabet, there are over 70 divas included!
