Queen is the central character in an ensemble show, and even in the original, she didn’t get a big solo number at the end - the show ended then (as it mostly does now) with the two friends singing a duet. Oldest Profession is the capstone because it captures the journey of all of these characters, and it works coming from Sonja.
Also, what is disingenuous about Sonja being killed from a profession that gave her AIDS, and what does that have to do with gay men? A careless reader might get the impression that you think AIDS is the domain of gay men. |
