| I just watched the brilliant filming of Hamilton on Disney + and I hope everyone will watch it, even if you have seen it on stage. The camera work and editing are perfect. The show deserves every accolade and prize it has been awarded. And then some. I have one question that I hope won't end up being a stick of dynamite. I did research the cast members of three national tour companies and see that every cast has the exact same makeup of races in each role. Or very close. Wondering if that means there is a requirement in the casting breakdowns specifying which characters must be played by actors of a specific race. For example, only white males can play King George, only Latino can play Hamilton, only blacks can play the majority of other roles, etc. Is that even legal these days? Just a question. Don't hate me for raising the question. | |
