| I noticed it too. In fact I spoke with Powell for a minute or so at the stage door. You are right -- he is very white. I kind of thought that the purpose of the pre-show was to show that Salonga's character is some sort of doctor leading a mission to deal with the survivors of a hurricane. Therefore the actual race or ethnicity of her and her staff (including Powell) doesn't matter. They are all just individuals telling a story. At least that's how I interpreted it. The staging, production, and everything was so good that the incongruity of Powell's whiteness didn't really bother me. | |
