Mayor White

Mayor Oscar White (simply referred to as the Mayor) is a popular political figure and a supporting character in Supermen: The Musical. He is the mayor of Capital City, the main setting for the show.

Origins
Like all the characters of Supermen: The Musical, the Mayor was born in collaboration between the show's two creators. "We wanted an all-American Wizard of Oz," stated Rosen in an interview with no one in particular. "He might have been Oz the great and powerful, but behind that emerald curtain there's just smoke and mirrors." For a brief period of time the character's gender was fiercely disputed. Magritte-Slonaker felt that the show was lacking female representation, as the Phoenix was the only strong female character in the show. Rosen reminded his creative partner that a male-dominant society would only boost the Silver Feather's symbolism of girl power. For thematic reasons, the two agreed upon the Mayor being male.
