The music very much pulling inspiration from Hamilton with quite a lot of rap throughout.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!! PLEASE google BLACK THOUGHT. The man who composed this show, and plays the Dr., is one of the ARCHITECTS of HIP HOP and RAP. He is absolutely of the most prolific rappers of our time. Lin was listening to Black Though while he was still in lyrical diapers. Inspiration from this show does not come from a show that made rap palatable for White people. Thi

Just as long as we can all agree that these "top schools" all have "White" in common. And I wonder what criteria goes into making a school "top"....? As someone who spends a lot of time doing workshops and masterclasses with alum from these "top" schools, I can tell you that I spend most of my ti

"For those wondering about possible replacements, Pearl Sun read for Lundy at the first industry workshop last year, and Montalvo's understudies on B'way were Kaleigh Cronin and LaQuet Sharnell Pringle. Montalvo will be missed big-time."

 

The hell??? The lady wasn't even at the mortuary, and you wanna list the possible replacements......for a show that won't even open for 8 months.....maybe??? You could've left that part out.....nobody was won

Wolfe and Hope Clarke, as well as Tonya Pinkins and a lot of the other cast, were very instrumental in developing the text through the rehearsal process. So this certainly was not a case of some white folks sitting down and writing a musical about the black experience with zero input from folks who actually lived through it."

Broadway is one of the most racist environments to ever exist. It's why we laugh every time "diversity" or "inclusion" roll off of a tongue. It's a lie. BURN IT DOWN. The entire structure and institution should try again!"

Saw it. Did not like it. 

Let me explain: Gorgeous music for a "song cycle", lovely idea. But its over-produced, over choreographed, and It's trying way too hard. I hate when people want to make a show edgy, and instead of actually just telling the truth, and tapping into the core and the honesty of the story, they make it fake edgy. Lets put everyone in ripped jeans and cut off t-shirts and cornrows and strip down the set, and hunch our shoulders over

RippedMan said: "I kind of concur with what was said. I loved the “blackified” treatment by the actors. It made it current and fresh, but still told the story. 

Hello -

As a representative of the Blacks, I have a favor to ask. Please take the word "blackify" out of your vocabulary, and throw it in thee NEAREST trash can. That's disgusting. You cannot be serious. That is not a thing. We're just walking and breathing and being great
