| The show wasn’t written without ethnicity in mind. It was conceived to be performed by principle actors of color (except for King George). You aren’t allowed to produce Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf with a George and Martha who are black and going forward, all white productions of Hairspray aren’t allowed. Community theatres and colleges sign a contract when they license a show and it would be as illegal for them to make an unauthorized change in the way the show is to be cast as it would be for them to insert unapproved songs. |
