A transgender student in Texas has been reinstated as the lead in Oklahoma! after school administrators reversed their decision to recast the musical to align with actors’ genders assigned at birth.
More than 60 people spoke at the meeting in support of Max Hightower, who’d been cast as Curly, the leading male in the production, according to WFAA, an ABC affiliate in Dallas. Other students, too, had been cast in the musical to play roles opposite to their gender.
