By the way, one of the best productions of Sweeney Todd I've ever seen was the East-West Players in Los Angeles. There is so much underused Asian talent out there.

I'm glad they're doing it!

Well, this thread went predictably bad rather quickly.

I'm glad Baayork is doing something beyond A CHORUS LINE. This production sounds more interesting than most of the others that have been done lately.

Who apparently thinks the more they tell racist jokes, the funnier they get.

All joking aside, it sounds like it'll be a great production, the creative team is tremendous. While I don't know if anything will be gained by an all Asian-American cast (as opposed to traditional casting), it provides an opportunity for some wonderful actors that would normally be passed up for this material.

I overheard a boy in Central Park talking about how he was in this, but he didn't look particularly Asian...

I have to wonder who their Dolly will be.

So now he's not Asian enough to be in this production?

There was a white person in the black version of STREETCAR. I don't think it has to be exclusively Asian.

Well the concept of doing an ALL (insert any race here) production of any show is arguably racist. So this thread is right on track.

i agree Lizzy, Phyllis, Kad I wish i wouldve seen similar concern over all the Pope and Catholic bashing a couple of weeks back though i guess some anti-bashing is still PC and AOK to some

Last time I checked Catholicism wasn't a race.
