Lear and her team are staking out an extreme view that these old shows aren’t fit for public consumption. That is a separate issue from the industry’s commitment to hire more BIPOC artists.
How do we do the latter? Well, “Funny Girl” has two BIPOC choreographers. It would be nice if more creatives on that show were BIPOC, but it’s a start. Not everything has to be a bold explosion of a classic in order to be better serving anti-racism principles; BIPOC folk like the Golden Age musicals, too. |
