I concur. Gender decidedly plays a role in adolescence and this story is specifically constructed on teenage boy experience, two boys who end up linked. Yes, a fair amount of rewriting would be required and for what? Create a new show.
I do believe the cast will continue to be diverse and Evan could be cast with a young man of any ethnicity or national origin. It's not even a "Hamilton" leap, though why not for the others? Evan's biological father is never seen, so why presume he is white? |
