Telling anyone, "It's satire! Suck it up, snowflake!" is conducive to nothing.
Especially if the intent of the material is to illicit discussion.
If someone feels hurt or offended by something, discuss it! Maybe you can learn from a different perspective. That is what the theater is mainly about beyond entertainment.

Posted: 6/12/20 at 5:31amPeople are confusing the SUBJECT of the joke with the TARGET of the joke. The point of the BOM is to show how ridiculous, stupid and potentially dangerous Western religious culture is. The Ugandans in the show are making us see how stupid white westerns are - how stupid our religious culture is. It remains a powerful and important message especially when you look at how riddled the USA is with Christianity at all levels of population and government.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
