CAROUSEL (2018) Previews
I agree with this analysis 100%. What's so pioneering about putting men of color in the roles of abusive, bullying, criminal characters? The best of old Broadway musicals can remind us of easier, kinder times. That is not Carousel. This version kept the excruciatingly long pseudo-ballet dance numbers and did nothing to each now ledge the story's racist or sexist overtones even in a "wink" kind of way. I was deeply disappointed.
