If the same standard was applied to Broadway then a Hamilton win would have gone to Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom jr, Phillpa Shoo ect.
Finding an actress in one high school who has Esmeraldas specific authentic ethnic background might be impossible. She is French Roma which I believe is half Caucasian and half Indian.
Initially I think it was speculated that there wasn’t any actors on the list. I wonder if information has been gathered about some know ? That’s in addition to Spacey ( if he counts as a “ Broadway person” since he’s more famous for film).

Replacement cast members included actors from soaps Emmerdale and Hollyoaks, popular presenter Denise Van Outen and Lee Mead who was the winner of a reality show to play Joseph in joseph and the amazing technicolor dream coat.

Star casting: Famous actor a person does like who is cast in a role
Spongebob should do well Thanksgiving - New Year’s Day when schools and colleges are out. The cartoon started in 1999 and is still running. That’s a large two generation target audience. A lot of the original fans now have kids of their own who they can take to see this.

Well Harvey's name is attached to 9 Tony awards and many more nominations as producer. That includes juggernauts like Billy Elliot. If they did know they didn't care since about 2000.
