Too real

​@catlyn1327 it's so weird because my school has crappy sports teams and the drama club is number 1 in some sort of drama thing and they legit built a multi million dollar add on to to the school just for the drama club.

We had ONE year with a good budget and it's because football was literally shut down for that year. Anymore details and y'all'd find my hometown. Damn we had nice sets that year though

@@Joesolo13 Like 6ish years ago was our best selling musical we've ever done, & even then it wasn't that much profit, but it's just been downhill from that. It doesn't help that last year's musical's rights cost $3000, so while that musical might've actually beaten the previous best seller or at least gotten close in terms or raw money, we lost money because of how costly it was. It also doesn't help that the student council decided they wanted to take our concessions & run them so now we get practically nothing from those.

foul.

@@FiftyStates5 part of the show is that she moves from an all white rich school to the “ghetto”. the girl she meets there is black and that’s part of her character. another girl is hispanic and trans. then she meets 2 other guys who are also black and it’s relevant to the story

@FiftyStates5 the movie comments on black ppl interlatual property is stolen by white ppl mostly cause they have the money and power in the situation. It also takes comments on white saviour mentaly but this is a gross simplification.

​@@tyler439omg did they do blaccent??

I believe it’s because many characters in Hamilton are black.

The characters in the Hamilton musical are often black (diverse?) Idk how many Hispanics, Asians, etc there are although kinda weird to not differentiate black people. Maybe it isnt diverse, either way it is apparently a bad thing they are white

The cast is specifically non-white. I believe the only white cast members in the original production were playing the British

the musical had blind casting so a lot, if not most, of the cast was poc. even tho of the historical event was just white people

They cast black and brown people in it so the white people who pay to watch it or produce it can feel good about themselves while they watch it. Modern hollywood and broadway is all about whotes hating themselves for being white and trying to virtue signal that they're one of the "good whites" by trying to signal to the world that they're not racist and that they hate white people. Its cringe. Just forget about it and do something productive instead of having these racial power fantasies that college-aged kids obsess over these days.

@@walnutelm7365Because black people don’t cover themselves in white paint and act like buffoons

@@walnutelm7365because it literally used to be illegal for black peoples to be in shows and movies, they have little representation where as white people don’t lack representation

⁠​⁠@@walnutelm7365I can’t tell whether you’re asking in good faith or not, but look into the history of minstrel shows. They were white people who were doing black face to mock and belittle black people. It was taking the worst stereotypes of black people and amplifying them to entertain white audiences. Black performers have also had their art and performances stolen by white folks and made popular due to the white performer being white. The woman who inspired Betty Boop actually stole her act from a black woman called Esther Lee Jones who went by the stage name Baby Esther. She never got recognised in her time due to her performance being stolen. Elvis Presley is another example. While he wasn’t the one who directly stole black performances and music, his managers modelled his image and sound after black artists. A rather famous quote from his producer, Sam Phillips, was “If I could find a white man who had the Negro sound and the Negro feel, I could make a billion dollars.” His art was directly based on black musicians to appeal to white audiences. This has been done thousands of time over, with the black artists fading into obscurity. Shakira got popular for her song Waka Waka (This time for Africa), that was originally a song by Golden Sounds, a group from Cameron, called Zamina mina (Zangaléwa) made in 1986. She gave no credit for the song and didn’t simply sample it, the parts in the Doula language are entirely copied and stolen. The theft of black music and performance has been happening ever since white people met black people, they have copied their dances and songs and performances for popularity and fame. Black folks have never been able to profit off of copying white songs and dance in a way at all similar to how white folks have off of black songs and dance. It’s frankly inappropriate to say your comment about “why can’t white people play black people?” but I can understand the confusion if you don’t have the context. I hope this helps and I suggest looking into the history of black songs and dances and performances being stolen and mocked by white audiences.

@@astoroidea6502 I understand that there have been people profiting from things they shouldn't be profiting from, but I did say in my comment that I didn't want white people to play black characters. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of white characters being "blackwashed." I don't mind seeing more poc representation in art, but taking preexisting white characters and making them black isn't doing any good either. I will be expecting an answer involving something about historical discrimination, like you talked about in your last comment, but all I see it as is fighting fire with fire. You can't solve discrimination against black people with discrimination against whites. Racism towards black Americans is pretty underground and hard to find now, but many people openly express their hatred towards white Americans.

Keeps them on their toes

Then what's the POINT OF DOING HAIRSPRAY

😭what the hell?

your mom said it rudely but if you can't hit notes you probably shouldn't be in a production. It's also hurt your throat so i kinda get where she was coming from

@@snowfire321 no I completely agree, if you can't hit the notes you shouldn't be in the production. I didn't mean that I thought that was wrong. I would prefer it if the person with the best voice for the role got the role. The voice. Not the face. The dancing not the face. Everything in a musical should be about the voice, not any features of the person.

@@OneWeekRainisu :)

LOVER???

WHAT

Exactly! Why is everyone so focused on race all the time, life would be so much simpler if people just stopped caring.

Well race & colour has a lot to do with the plot of Hamilton. Race & colour has absolutely nothing to do with little mermaid... she's only white in the original show is cuz every other disney princess was white at the time. The one that weren't white it's bc it was important for the plot/characters background. Little mermaid is a... mermaid. Doesnt make a difference if she is darker or lighter skinned. Hamilton on the other hands - the characters races should stay as they are since it's actully relevant for the characters background

They were originally white 🤦🏿‍♀️​@@dontpanic6349

@@dontpanic6349 as a European I actually think it is very important that the little mermaid is white not just because it’s just the original, but also because you can see European cultural references in it. The story was written in Western Europe by a European and they shouldn’t change the character without the authors approval, it’s actually very disrespectful to his work and since he’s not here anymore I would just say that the best solution would have been not making a real life movie in the first place and just create another POC princess instead of changing the old ones. I would love to see a new Disney princess of color but trying to erase all the white ones is really not that nice. I also think if Lin Manuel Miranda wanted only POC actors they should stick with that, because you should follow the will of the creator, you know what I mean?

​@@dontpanic6349thank u

Because Hamilton is an intentionally diverse musical because it's supposed to partly represent how American should've been. Non racist ☠️

@@jojohairee9987 Hamilton is intentionally diverse. Making it with an only white cast DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAY.

@jojohairee9987 You can do literally any other play. But doing Hamilton, is like doing Hairspray with an all white cast. Defeats the purpose of the entire musical. Any other musical will do because the musical has nothing to do with race.

@jojohairee9987 Nobody said all black cast, where'd you get that from?

@@jojohairee9987 Just because YOU don't care doesn't mean it doesn't matter. You're entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't make you right.

The point of Hamilton was to tell the story of the founding of our country(the U.S), with diverse actors to open it to a broader audience. So, when nearly the entire cast is white, the point gets stripped away.

​@@Hamilton-TheMusical- I know it's your screen name, but do you have a source on the broader audience claim? Feel like that was an afterthought considering the venue and price. Always assumed they used a diverse cast to drive home the idea that these were all immigrants/immigrant families

@@anow2 I read the Hamilton book written by Lin, and it says the diverse cast was used so that people of color could feel a stronger relation to the story when they watched the musical.

Better not do the book of mormon lol

@@kivrinsagchannel791 that would be so great!

​@@kivrinsagchannel791 my choir teacher in college was Mormon and he said that personally his only issue was the swearing

Because this video is trying to guilt trip white people

Idk but the Broadway show had a policy of all non-white main cast (minus 1) so maybe. it is obviously somewhat intentional in that having a white actor portray a character support slavery IN A LIGHT HEARTED WAY is too close to home

@@baintreachaspolicy sounds pretty racist to me.

@@sweetcinnamonpnchkinthe show was made to give people of color a chance to represent history instead of displaying how whitewashed history is. it’s giving people of color a voice.

It’s so dumb. It’s irrelevant if it “looks good or bad” fact is that Hamilton was in fact white and he was pro slavery. Obviously that view is horrible but that’s simply what it was. Why twist the facts?

Im a little bit on your side. But I think Hamilton is different. Because Hamilton is not really about what the Plot is about, Hamilton is very much about race and contemporary culture. In my opinion if a real theater would decide to put on Hamilton then they should cast poc artist, because the show is not the same without it. But if a theater group decides to put on Hamilton and there only happens to be 1 poc in the cast, then so be it. As long as the actors dont make racist charactures out of the people its completely fine imo. Tho I would argue what distinguishes a plain theater group from a good theater group is that they make the material their own, so they might rewrite or just inscenate(???) Things differently to make them more fitting to the actors

The point is Hamilton is very much not race-neutral. The only principal role that white people can be cast as is King George.

It’s literally not race neutral. At all. What

?? The show itself followed that rule, except for the king. Also, how does “non-white” imply all non-white ethnicities are the same… I mean, like you said, it is a super diverse original cast, no one walked out thinking they were all the same race

To defend this answer Lin said himself he wanted to tell the story from a different lens so that’s probably why the cast of Hamilton was diverse. He could’ve had them all white but he wanted people of color to tell the story instead as an artistic choice.

​@@baintreachas What I mean by that is that to me it feels like an individuals nationality or ethnicity is largely ignored in favor of lumping all non white people together. To me it gives more power to white people by ignoring all the nuisance that goes into persons of color's individual identities.

So?
