Not one mention of possible unconscious bias. L.O.L Keep proving me right.Honey, I'm responding right now during break from a workshop rehearsal for a show you will undoubtedly pay to see next season...bwahahaha. I can multi-task.

To say it's not that deep is to minimize Black excellence in our art form.You all have such keyboard courage.I guarantee you wouldn't say half the things you say on this boardto Audra or George in their face. I know you wouldn't say to a Black person in theirface, it's not that deep...Lordy that lol. It gives me great joy, to light y'all up like this, because most responses are dismissive and not engaging which further lets me know...well you know...."

Rubbish

I don't know, it is irrelevant to me, they aren't Black so while vocal stylingsmay besimilar, it's not something I can compare in those terms. There was an earlier suggestion of Heather Hedley or Tonya Pinkins, which is applicable only in that there are both Black women with very different voices from Audra. Still not really comparable in terms of the ACTING."



Audra is certainly one of our best actresses in both musicals and plays but Heather and Tonya are damn fine actresses."

Absolutely agreed, they are damn fine actresses who I am proud to call one friend and mentor and the other colleague.

Your begining to sound like that Boop troll."

I don't know her.... but why does me stating how I know them amount to trolling?

Yeah Huss.. that’s about it. Hope you have a nice weekend.

"

yes but also there is a conspiracy to elevate Scherzinger by bringing down Audra. It's all totally normal over here."

It gets more and more like soap operas on here. You can miss a month but still be able to pick up where you left off.

I guess the Scherzinger bringing down Audra must be to offset the incessant Audra bringing down Scherzinger posts? LOL

And if you pay attention it really does sound like mrshowbiz90210 has assumed another identity for themselves.

OharaFosseWolfe888 said: "With each of your posts, you sound more ridiculous. But congrats on the new "trolling" technique."

That's two accusations of trolling...without actual engagement of my comments...if I actually wanted to troll this thread, I would copy it verbatim and make it a scene ala Eureka Day LOL

NO FOR THE LAST TIME, not liking Audra's performance alone is not racist. Why won't yall use the word unconscious bias? I never said that.

"

Maybe you mean not liking her performance isn't inherently racist. Saying she isn't a good fit because she doesn't sound like every white woman who has played the part is certainly a little racist.

One of our best performers cast in a role that just simply didn’t allow her voice to soar. Talented as they both as, their voice types were fighting against their performances the whole show.It’s hard not to imagine if Kelli had been cast instead of Sutton or Heather instead of Audra. Their voices would have fit the scores like a glove."

This is exactly what came to mind for me when I saw this veryrecently. Just not a good fit. And it is just a poorly conceived production. The rest of what is being written on this thread about critical race theory and racism and all theother attacks at peoplle that just did not like it .. is just a lot of blah blah blah. Someone has too much time on their hands. It just wasn't good. It is not that deep. Lordy."

Well yes to some extent, that's why newspapers started to send Black critics to review Black work L.O.L"

If you don't realize how messed up that outlook is, I don't know what to tell you...

I actually think you're a little off-point here. Part of the reason for the push for diverse theater critics is EXACTLY because white critics have done a terrible job reviewing the work of Black actors, writers. They insert all kinds of unfair biases into their reviews.

Critics? Who cares about critics? I care about what we felt as audience members. And for me.. I felt nothing.
