Oh yeah, I knew what you were implying the first time around, and I'm not picking a battle, I'm just reminding you of the facts before you get in too deep. Pick whatever battles you want, but make sure you're fighting against something real, not imagined. We don't know why Encores! made the choice they made. You may have hit the nail on the head. You may have not. We don't know yet. But your post was treating a theory like a fact, and we should nip those kinds of mistakes in the bud.

When I watched ANNIE Live I thought for sure she'd be (perfectly) cast in TAP DANCE KID and Queen Lear directed that..but clearly they decided to erase the size of the character...(and with it most of her great personality)I wonder if they will ever explain

You've made plenty of suppositions in your battles as well as showing plenty of indignation in quite a few threads over time here. The main fact in this case is they've rewritten some of a role and cast it differently, to the detriment of am under-represented demographic in the theater. That's the main point.

Can you imagine if a production at this level re-wrote a poc or queer role to be not that because they either couldn't cast it well or didn't know how to deal with the way it was written in the past in presenting it to a modern audience? It would be treated as absolute violence.

That is the main point, we've agreed about this the entire time.
