This guy sounds like a lot of those regulars that the bartenders keep an eye on but he just barely keeps his creepiness in check. I'd like to hear what they have to say about this.

I never thought I would see the phrase “should my concierge be overpowered” in 2020.

Also, I think your concierge would weigh the minuses of losing a job over their complete indifference to you as a human being and decide they were “overpowered” pretty quickly.

I...don't think QAnon frightens much of anybody, nor do they do they have the brainpower to think in that manner.

I went to see the Wicked musical and they made the one black character in the book white so no one watching it would have to suffer the trauma of seeing a white (green) woman in love with a black man.

It was... incredibly loving bad, all around.

Doesn't Theater just generally cast based on voice without regard to race though? So just because the actor's white doesn't mean the character's been white washed?

That tweet is awful.

Fiyero has been played by black men, but most have been white. They changed a bunch of poo poo about that character and most of the story because the book was weird as gently caress and not family friendly. I still generally like the show, but not making an effort to cast Fiyero as black is a pretty lovely ongoing misstep.

Yeah, I guess it's way more important to cast black actors as explicitly black characters, for the usual reason.

Wicked seemed fine to me when I saw it last year, I went at my Girlfriend's behest and I'm not super familiar with the show/book/fandom though.

I once saw a version of Les Mis where Young Eponine was played by a white child and Adult Eponine was played by a black woman. I found that a bit jarring.

I saw a play of Sense and Sensibility where the Dashwood sisters were played a black woman, a white woman, and an Asian girl. I kept thinking, "Wow, how did Mrs. Dashwood manage that?"

I saw something similar, but it was Cosette, didn't really matter because she was an awesome talent and it was obvious why they made the choice.

This is a bit more of a recent thing in theatre, where the push for blind casting has mixed with less of a focus on total realism and more on talent on stage. They can also use this as an excuse to not put that much money into a realistic set and do more 'emersive' staging. It's really a bunch of buzzwords and chasing trends of whatever the director and producers last saw that was successful.

Sorry, dumb derail. Doesn't matter much anyhow as the only American theatre that will survive Covid are Wicked and a few other Broadway productions. I picked a great dead medium as a career.

Ah yes, that memorable protest on that day where everyone, uh, laid on the ground to protest the, uh, the thing. The thing that they were protesting that one time.

I don't know Wicked, but I can't imagine a production of Rent changing the race of any of the black characters, and they certainly aren't blacking up any white actors for a production of Othello anymore, no matter how great Lawrence Olivier was.

Still doubt it will work in this case since my mom fits into those categories and she's a fan of The National. If anything, it may make it easier for her to sympathize.

Oh I understood why. Eponine was very talented. And it's not like the idea of the very white Thenardiers having a black daughter was too much for my immersion or anything. All I'm saying is that they should have fired the little white girl.

It's one of the few completely consistent takes of low key white supremacism, "the only valid protest is that which doesn't inconvenience me whatsoever."
