I just don't get how you're also supposed to be Broadway fans and yet you guys don't discuss Lin who is probably the most important person in the Broadway universe ever. Like that sad if you are supposed to know all about Broadway but have never discussed

Why? Lin is probably the most successful performer and composer of this generation along with being incredibly talented and a good person. Who else do you know who can compose their own show and star in it. NO ONE. Only Lin can do that because he is LIN MANUEL MIRANDA. It's actually dumb if you guys are supposed to be Broadway fans and don't appreciate Lin for the bean he is. He has three

Sierra Boggess to play Maria in West Side Story in London

I don't know why people are making such a big deal out of me not knowing who Sirera Boggs or what West Side Story is. Like, they're clearly not successful because otherwise I would know who they are the way I know Lin, Hamilton, or DEH, Ben Platt. I have never heard anyone talking about them meanwhile other shows like Be More Chill are way more popular and not getting this kind of attention.

I'm just going to say one more thing and then stop participating in this and be the bigger person: Hamilton is the most successful musical of all time and it has a cast of POC so maybe all these other shows should cast more POC because look at how successful Hamilton can be. Also, its racist for you to say that Tarcy Turnblade can't be played by a POC, like race does not say who a person is

Yeah but it's like that now because of someone named LIN MANUEL MIRANDA. Lin is letting us pave the way to equality in theatre! And honestly I've never heard about this show West Side Story so maybe it can take points from Hamilton in casting more POC because that's what Hamilton did and they are obviously more successful because of it and maybe more people would know about it and it would be more successful.

Color Purple or Cinderella

Neither! I haven't see either show but Hamilton is also touring now so just go and see that instead! It won so many Tony awards!

Broadway Debuts
Apr 21 2018, 04:26:36 PM
I don't know but I know if you follow the cast of certain shows on Instagram they will post about some people making their Broadway debuts. Like I follow the WHOLE cast of Hamilton on instagram and they always update us on stuff like that. This new production of west side story that's coming out (the one with that huge issue about not casting a POC in a POC role) will probably show who is making their Broadway debut in West side story on Instagram!

okay I've never heard about West Side Story or Sirrea Bogges but I googled her and she isn't a POC. Like that is so wrong if this is a part for a POC and they casted someone who is not a POC. There are so many POC actresses that probably could have played this part well like Phillipa Soo or Jasmine Cephias Jones or Renee Elise Goldsberry or like Emmy Raver Lampman. And if they did that they could cast Lin as the guy (Tony? I'm guessing from the thread) because he would alread

Hey you guys, I have never made a post on here before and this is my first one! I'm surprised that there isn't already a Lin or Hamilton thread since they're both probably the most popular things to come to Broadway! I was never into musical theatre until I listened to Hamilton and now I love it! I thought that we could make an appreciation thread for Lin because he is probably one of the most best composers to ever come around and he literally reinvigorated Broadway. O
