"I think Arden is trying to make a statement similar to what Miranda is doing in Hamilton that acting on stage is acting and any person regardless of his race or ethnicity can play any role as long as he or she is good enough."
I actually do not think that is the point that Miranda was trying to make with the way Hamilton was/is cast. It's very purposeful that the white founding fathers and those around them are played by young black and latinx actors, and I don't think specifically has to do with color-blind casting. I think the Hamilton casting is very much not color-blind. |
