Casting really matters with BoM. The first time I saw it was with Nic Rouleau at the end of his 6 year stint as Price and an understudy (forgot who) as Cunningham and it was very stale and Rouleau had zero energy.
The second time I saw it Dave Thomas Brown was Price and Cody Jamison Strand was Cunningham and it was so much funnier.
The Hamilton cast I saw was very uneven too. Michael Luwoye as Hamilton was excellent but Lexi Lawson and Mandy Gonzalez were not.
Knee injuries (depending on how serious they are) are more than two weeks. I know Andy Karl wore a brace for the remainder of his Groundhog Day run when he injured his knee.
And his character didn't have to do all the running that Powell apparently has to do.
Mister Matt said: "White people never experience discrimination or prejudice.
White Jews and LGBTQ have never experienced discrimination or prejudice? I bet they'd be really surprised to learn that.
this is such a disingenuous argument. You might have suffered personal discrimination but your ancestors did not suffer systematic oppression that was LEGAL and MANDATED in the constitution. To suggest it is the same is beyond obtuse. Besides wrre you e
I appreciate the research you have clearly done on this subject, as well as the articles you linked to. However, in my opinion, whether or not non-white people can be "racist" towards white people is just semantics. There's no questioning the fact that a good part of world history consists of white people being terrible. However, whether we call it "racism" or "prejudice," disliking someone

If THAT was the worst show you’ve seen in the last ten years then you must not have seen much. I loved that show, fantastic performances in a top notch production."
Maybe it's because I am pretty familiar with the story of Farinelli, and so the fact that they didn't actually play any music that Farinelli sang and the historical inac
Serious question here: do the actors sing the score in the classic MT style, or a more contemporary MT style? One of the things about WSS I think that is so hard to update is the very classic MT structure of the songs.

Those two articles you linked to are about the U.S. only. Does every culture in the world have a prejudice against darker skin? Don’t know. I haven’t been to most countries or done research on the subject (although, as someone who grew up being afraid to wear shorts or take his shirt off in front of others, I can tell you that being “too white” is definitely a thing in our culture ... which is why tanning is such an obsession despite th
Never, ever, said in my post that you were poor and down and out. Point it out to me then. I said you have a chip on your shoulder and seem to blame others for whatever has gone on in your life. The argument you have been stating today has been on rewind since 2016. This is probably the tenth thread that you have stated your hangups on the white devil. Go sting someone else. I
Therefore it is natural that the absence of color (whiteness) is thought of as a free ride through life. White people never experience discrimination or prejudice. They were never told to go to the back of the bus. They aren't asked to leave Starbucks for buying a latte and aren't shot to death in their own homes for "being home while black." The sickening thing is when white people don't realize that

I’ve been to Japan. They were remarkably polite and kind. But I’m not white.
I can't speak to how Japan is or isn't. But of course, they were polite to you, you are Asian American. At least that is what you have stated about yourself on your Facebook page.
" im of Chinese descent. Japanese, Chinese and Koreans have huge ethnic conflicts and generally intermarriage to this day is rare.
Ok let me rephrase. There's no systemic racism against white people. This is across the board. I went to Cuba two summers ago. Egalitarian, communist Cuba. I noticed that in this extremely diverse island the powerful positions were still given to white people.
Until things like this don't happen, white people dont get to complain of racism because they're the biggest beneficiaries of racism.
The worldwide prejudice is that white ppl are superior, light skin is superior. This cuts across all races and ethnicities. Therefore if white ppl are held up as a model of superiority and all institutions are designed to protect white ppl you can’t be racist against white ppl if you are fighting back against the injustices perpetrated on non-white ppl.
BWAY Baby2 said: "Any type of racism is repugnant- what difference does it make if the person is racist against whites, Asians or anyone else- racism is always ugly no matter which race is the victim- to minimize hate aimed at white people is absurd. All racial hatred is equally abhorrent."
Is this an appropriate momsical? My mom likes old fashioned musicals. I didn't take her to Daniel Fish's Oklahoma! because I knew it wouldn't be for her. Is this so radically different that she couldn't handle it?
