From SHOW BOAT to FINIAN'S RAINBOW to MISS SAIGON, musicals meant to attack racism have often been accused of being racially insensitive.
Earlier today, New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players announced they would be cancelling their planned production of THE MIKADO due to complaints from the Asian American community about the show's offensive stereotyping, as well as NYGASP's casting of caucasian actors in Asian roles.
Today, in an announcement posted on their official Facebook page, the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players has canceled their production of THE MIKADO and replaced it with THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE.
Topical humor has a short shelf life and a spoof of British foibles 130 years ago can be seen as racially offensive today.

The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) at Harvard University, under the leadership of Artistic Director Diane Paulus and Managing Director William Russo, has announced its 2014/15 Season.
What fun are the action filled battle scenes with their epic swashbuckling and wonderfully choreographed crew of strong men making their way across the stage to proudly proclaim their identities as pirates; with what grace do the dainty young ladies flit about and admire those same pirates who come and take them away with promises of marriage, almost too fantastical a concept to ever really work. How wonderful it is to watch two lovers remain together through the difficulties of a leap year birthday. Simply put, the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players' production of the infamous The Pirates of Penzance is one of the most remarkable shows a theatergoer will see before the near year rolls in.
Grammy-winning storyteller, humorist, and host Garrison Keillor is back on the road with the nation's premier live radio show, A Prairie Home Companion (APHC).
