E.Davis, you mean because she's white? Probably not.

IIRC, Amneris & Radames are Egyptian, right? So one would hope that a 2016 production of Aida would cast POC. The recent Muny production obviously didn't do that, however.

I'd believe it, Idina was horribly miscast in that role

The show itself was good and the cast was AMAZING.   I saw the original cast on Broadway and loved the show.  A couple of years later, I saw the show on tour and was not impressed.   The incredible cast elevates the entire score and lifts up a few of the mediocre songs in the show.

Saw it twice. Can't believe it took HEATHER HEADLEY this long to return to the stage... Such a true talent. I bawled both times...

 

"THE GODS LOVE NUBIA"... Hearing her sing that live was a once in a lifetime experience.
