The "transparent" musical finale gives actors a chance to heal

LOS ANGELES – Finishing five seasons of an award-winning series with a musical is a risk that only the film "Transparent" Amazon could take.

The risks are part of the series' DNA, said series creator, Jill Soloway.

"We were all just flying through our risky spaces," Soloway said of the creation of the final. "Today, we always fly in our risky spaces by having created a musical as a way to say goodbye to this family."

Actor Jay Duplbad added that after pushing his boundaries for several seasons, hearing the idea, he thought to himself: "It's crazy and it's quite logical, and that's what we need to do. "

Soloway joined Faith Soloway, producer and executive producer, as well as the cast of the Amazon series, at a meeting of the Television Critics Association to discuss the appropriate conclusion for the characters while they cry the loss from one of the main characters in the series.

The finale begins with the death of Maura, played by Jeffrey Tambor, who left the series last year after accusations of badual harbadment on the set. Approaching the death of Tambor's character with a musical, the actors were able to allow them to mourn, said Jill Soloway.

"Our actors mourn Maura, and as actors and creators, we mourn what happened with our series," said Jill Soloway at the Tambor exit, adding: "It was a chance to heal together. "

The musical finale "Transparent", which will debut on September 27, concludes a series that breaks the barriers with its representation of LGBTQ characters on the screen. The show leaves the television scene with others in its wake, including Ryan Murphy 's award – winning "Pose".

Although Jill Soloway has stated that she does not take responsibility for promoting greater on-screen representation, she is grateful to have participated in this conversation.

"I feel more like an amazed child than parents, I came to it all so late in my life, and I was not even strange before the end of my forties," said Jill Soloway. "So, I could not take responsibility for this revolution, I always felt admiring."
