[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]umm it worked pretty well (with other color requirements) for Lin Manuel Mirnda??[/quote]
This is why I am never paying to see Hamilton. I might go if I get a super cheap ticket or watch the stream some day, but I am not in a rush [/quote]

Maybe it isn’t for you at all? You seem to miss the whole concept. Just listen to the sound track and imagine everyone Caucasian. [/quote]
Yeah maybe it’s not for me. But why can’t the school play be something similar and therefore call for a specific race in a specific role?

Yeah, none of this is true about Hamilton, as you can see from the current Broadway cast: https://hamiltonmusical.com/new-york/cast/. Many of the characters are played by actors of different races than the original Broadway cast.[/quote]

?? nearly everyone (other than king george) would appear to be a visually identifiable POC (which includes Asians these days) or a person with a latinx name (many latinx individuals consider themselves POC).  [b]I'm not inclined to view the world this way[/b], but the anti-racism training i recently participated in makes it pop to me.[/quote]

You’re so full of sh*t. The cast of Hamilton represents many races. Considering that actors playing the same character are of different races, it’s clear that there’s [b]no race-specificity in casting.[/b]

If you’re just upset that there aren’t a lot of white people in the cast, I don’t know what to tell you.[/quote]

You are wrong about the bolded.  White people are discouraged to audition for the main roles.  They used to spell it out but were called out for it so now it is more subtle.[/quote]
That is literally the POINT of the show. A professional broadway show is not the same as a public high school production. Surely you can see the difference?[/quote]
