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.

I actually once had a some what similar experience. My college’s theatre professor/director who was very toxic and socially oblivious secured a license for Shrek the musical. She then proceeded to email every African American student on campus, including my roommate, asking them to audition for the roll of Donkey since he was voiced by Eddy Murphy. While we were a fairly diverse college with a large African American attendance, my roommate informed me that not only were most of the African American students not interested in theatre at all, but most if not all of them were at the least very uncomfortable if not outright offended at the email that showed only an interest in their race instead of actually acting skills. The ironic part is that this professor was known to rant on and on about her progressive mind set and how tolerant and supportive she was to minorities.😅

[@astoroidea6502]

⁠​⁠@@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.

[@walnutelm7365]

@@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.

[@OneWeekRainisu]

I think the main thing is people don't understand that the musics isn't about diversity, but about equal opportunity. The blind casting used for the production is the selling point. That ANYONE can play ANY ROLE regardless of skin color or their looks! It made it so people with wonderful voices and talent for dancing and choreography get to shine, rather than people who "look the part". Type casting is a huge issues in movies and Broadway. People who just think, because a person doesn't look the way I want them to they shouldn't play that role. Are legitimately the exact reason this musical exists. Was funny to explain that Hamilton was actually white irl to my niece though. She was like n-no that's not what the movie said, so she googled it and was like wtf... and I had to explain why to her, and that his voice is the role, not his appearance. Also I've been rejected from stuff and put into things because of type casting. My mom taught our drama class for year though and stopped allowing type casting. The kids that usually got all the roles hates her. And because their parents had money she ended up having to quit. But she told me "if you can't hit the notes, I'm not going to let you into the production just because you're my daughter." But I had bronchitis and she was like "you think I care? Suck it up and hit the F sharp" needless to say, I was stage crew that production.

NO WAY- that should be a hate crime, who thought that was a good idea 😭 like you can’t take a autobiographical play about a queer black woman and make it white 😭

Any one can be in Hamilton. The diversity that has played the cast is incredible.

[@Hamilton-TheMusical]

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.

[@anow2]

​@@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

[@Hamilton-TheMusical]

@@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.

[@sensitiffly]

in middle school we did hairspray and it put nonwhite and nonblack kids in uncomfortable situations where their drama teacher was racializing them on the spot for casting. there was a white girl who got put with the “colored” cast bc she had a tan. there was ‘controversy’ over the girl who got the main (white) role bc she was italian. insane dynamics to knowingly put kids through

[@nevertoooldfordolls]

My high school put on in the hights and lin manuel was very strict about how they were able to put on the show. They had extensive negotiations with him about taking out some if the swear words. He made them keep most of them in. It was an amazing production. (this was in utah so of corse they wanted to take out some swear words bc its a fairly religous state)

Genuine question here: are people actually getting angry of all white productions of Hamilton? Like every single character was white 😭 they just did color blind casting for the original musical

[@Shuffles_Art]

Reminds me of when our school was doing Shrek the musical and we had to all beg our drama teacher to change the script because it had the literal T-slur in it for no reason 💀 And she was so appalled by it too, she’d get super annoyed if someone was hesitant to say it because it was a literal slur and everyone in the cast didn’t like it. Eventually it got switched out for something else and we all moved on, but it still irks me with how adamant she was on keeping it in

[@brianloper6669]

Whats the t-slur??

[@Shuffles_Art]

I’m not gonna say it but it’s just a slur against trans people. I’m sure if you look it up you’ll be able to find out what it is.

[@tacobell1299]

Because this video is trying to guilt trip white people

[@baintreachas]

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

[@sweetcinnamonpnchkin]

@@baintreachaspolicy sounds pretty racist to me.

[@piercedslxtxx]

@@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.

[@BellaStevenson23]

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?
