This has been open in my tabs for a while now because it's so interesting, yet I have nothing interesting or further to add to it.
The environmental context is interesting, as well as the fact that their most tense moments (as you mentioned) are when their gender positioning seems to be veering in different directions. Huh. I'm going to have to go think about all this, again, because now I have even more thinky thoughts...
Just out of curioisity, gave you read that "The Countertenor and The Crooner" article? It deals with some similar issues in terms of positioning and gender stereotyping, but moreso in the context of the audience, not within the show.
I always feel hideously inarticulate when I reply to your posts... XD
