Obviously she did not think of the backlash for a CONCERT and when she did, she did the right thing. But she did nothing wrong. No apologies.
So what is next in this frighteningly more powerful social media backlash? We have this, the Gypsy robe, the terrible backlash over Great Come

If it was for you, there would be another generation of brown girls that feel they are not equal, because you create issues and separation."
So now Dave is saying theatre shouldn’t be for little brown

No, I don't see any point being made at all. Sierra playing Sarah in Ragtime? Yup, I'd agree that would be goofy. Sierra singing any selection from Ragtime in concert (including any of the selections written for the men like, 'Wheels of a Dream' ? I'm absolutely fine with that.
This is a concert, not a production. Should "another generation of brown little girls" be disappointed that the oboist is not Puerto Rican?
If you insist on thinking of this concert as a "show", then you need to recognize that the star of The Prom is the John Wilson Orchestra (with guest soloists), and has been for quite some time. Since that is the case, and per your 'rules', the orchestra has to be be Puerto Rican - right?
This concert is meant to celebrate Bernstein's 100th birthday by performing his score (and later, 'On the Town', also) - NOT to convey the plot or characters of West Side Story."
you must be a white male #Privilege . God bless you. I hope you enjoy your privilege

John Adams said: "WOW...
So many people over-reacting over a misconception and gross misrepresentation of the truth: "Sierra Boggess to play Maria in West Side Story in London"
Sierra Boggess is NOT cast as Maria in any London production of West Side Story. There is no such production that I am aware of. All the claims of "Latinx/Latino/Latina roles should go to Latinx/Latino/Latina actors" do not apply.
These are THE PROM

Yes she did. People started yelling at her so she deleted it. Ana is obviously clueless.

I hear that she’s freaking out about the attacks on social media. Expect a statement from her and from Royal Albert Hall. She’s dropping from the project.
I blame her manager for thinking this was a good deal for her.
