| THIS I definitely want to see. It'll be interesting to see if he takes the very "full" approach or narrows it down to a one-act. Either way, it'll be an interesting POV. But: December 2019? I can't wait that long! |

| Sounds exciting. And van Hove for me these days is a mixed bag. But Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, I'm not sure if I can see it. I just saw one of her longer pieces and I thought it was witty, fun and genuinely entertaining but rather formal and cerebral. This is definitely something I'd see, though. | |

| I am very sympathetic to where you're coming from. A classic by white people, directed by a white person, but about people of color, might seem unnecessary in 2018. That being said, I fully believe that there's still room for it if it's done well, and I am looking forward to this production. | |

| It is not *about* people of color. Let's be clear about that. And why wouldn't there be "room" for this classic which is one of the best and most powerful musicals ever written, with perhaps the best music ever written for a musical, and depicting a conflict between two groups of people that will likely be relevant always? |
