| I think this conversation has gone so far astray that it's lost it's way. You are asking for theatre without content. Jersey Boys is about being Italian. Dear Evan Hanson is about being a teenager. And so Ain't Misbehavin is about being black. Writers, composers, lyricists, and other artists create out of who they are and the times they live in. To ask them to do otherwise is a kind of artistic fascism. It may come out of some misguided desire to create diversity/visibility, but it is death to the creative urge. Please remember the old saying, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." |
