Gender-Neutral Narrator: Difference between revisions

* Despite only being in the first and last scenes, the actor in A.R. Gurney ''Richard Cory'' serves a narrator-like purpose and is not of a specified gender.

* The Chorus from ''[[Henry V]]''.

** Only in the original staging. The revival, and most touring companies thereafter, require the Balladeer to be male {{spoiler|because he's actually Lee Harvey Oswald.}}

* The Cat in the Hat in ''[[Seussical]]''.

* The Narrator in [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]'s ''[[Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat]]'' is an interesting example: as written, the character has no specific gender, but is now always played by a woman to amend for the complete lack of female characters (other than Potiphar's Wife).
