77. The show’s producers have taken advantage of fans’ desire<br />

to perform by organizing singing contests, called “Wicked<br />

Day,” where the winners get free tickets to the show. However<br />

empowering the use of Wicked is for girl fans, it certainly in<br />

no way critiques the workings of capitalism, or even how girls’<br />

subjectivities are commodified by way of their f<strong>and</strong>om. See<br />

Theatrical Seductions (New York: Routledge, 2006).<br />

84. To historicize: In 1916, according to Shelley Stamp, McClure’s<br />

magazine advised treating the “infatuation” of a “stagestruck<br />

girl” with ‘“tender tolerance,’ since it was a passing phase that<br />

‘amounted only to a disease which every girl had in the course<br />

of evolution, like croup or the measles’ ” (Movie-Struck Girls:<br />

Women <strong>and</strong> Motion Picture Culture after the Nickelodeon [Princeton,<br />

NJ: Princeton University Press, 2000], 37). For other historical<br />

studies of girls, see, for example, Kelly Shrum, Some Wore Bobby<br />

Sox: The Emergence of Teenage Girls’ Culture, 1920 – 1945 (New York:<br />

Palgrave Macmillan, 2004); Sherrie A. Inness, ed., Delinquents
