Cheesy and waaaaay overhyped. The "music" gives me a headache.
I feel like we are supposed to publicly celebrate that white historical figures were made into black characters, but it seems disingenuous to change these people in this way. And people would be screaming if this was done the other way. It’s just kind of stupid and overwrought.
Which white historical figures are you talking about?
Umm Alexander Hamilton for one.
I actually can't believe the PP even asked this question. Seriously??
NP. I’m a “brown” person and also find it annoying when 21st century productions of historical stories/events include nonwhite actors playing characters who were obviously white. It feels like stupid pandering.
You would HATE Les Mis in London right now with Inspector Javert and he easily was one of the best performers. **** off with that nonsense.

This.
I’d even go with “Washington Football Team” over the uninspiring, seems like it was chosen by a 7 year old, “Commanders.”
I’m a long time fan and I’m good with changing the name. I think WFT with existing color scheme was decent. If Commanders sticks, I’m up for a color scheme change.
WFT for life - we can be the first to adopt that and with all the futbol/soccer loving fans in the area it makes total sense. Commanders is a JOKE!

I don’t care how much access she has to professional hair and make-up, she still looks amazing to have supposedly endured chemo and whatever other treatments.
I think she may have had pre-cancer (as William once let slip) or cancer 1A. Pippa said Kate "wasn't sick in the traditional sense," and pre- or early-stage would fit that. But Kate told us a year ago she was "cancer-free," and since then she's been skiing multiple times, vacationing in Mustique and on a Greek megayacht, and basically doing anything but work. I'm really over Kate's PR people and fans playing the cancer card to excuse her laziness. Such disrespect to those of us, like me, who have had actual cancer.

Me too. I’m not a big theater person to start, but musicals are the worst.

Fine, if it’s no big deal, then let’s have a musical about Harriet Tubman in which she is played by a white woman.
Go for it. But even if it's a musical, it might not make much sense as we're dealing with the issue of slavery.

+1. And they are both deeply insecure about it. To the point they both spend tons and tons of money to manufacture stories about them being "genius."
What is repugnant about Beyonce?
Just about everything.

She truly looks unhealthy. And when she gave an award at the VMAs, I asked my teen “is that her actual voice?” Because good googly, that is awful

The Sussexes are better people than the Waleses.
Preach.
(Though I do agree with the other poster about giving Kate some grace.)
Same.
Don't most people understand how screwed up Charles is and how his shenannigans impacted his kids?
