MattG, I heart you.

"And if they try to stop us Matt_G, I'll call the N double A C P!"

I tried to block that show from my memory, but I don't remember any racial references.

---

I was thinking the same thing TheGaIsSilent. Of course I've tried to wipe out my entire memory of the show but is there a specific instance where they refer to Paradice as being black?

I guess the problem with a show with only five cast members is they probably feel it's a waste of money to have both an understudy and a swing to cover the role. Maybe a little bit of color blind casting in this particular show wouldn't hurt them so much. Why does Brooklyn need to be white or Latina or whatever she's supposed to be (is it ever made clear?). If Faith can be both Latina and white and given Streetsinger's race it would seem Brooklyn could be anything (especially since the end is so confusing that it wouldn't matter one way or the other), so why not hire a third swing who could cover all three female roles?

Brooklyn is a fabulous show.
I'm really upset that its off this afternoon.
The show needs to make money so it can stay open til Tony time when i'm sure it will win in almost every category. :0)

---

If they are both sick, is tonight's show cancelled too?

That isn't too smart, to have only one understudy for a lead (and no swings covering...)

JUST CLOSE THE SHOW!

I did read it, Munk. I also saw GV at one of the first previews. I was sitting 4th row aisle, and considered rushing the stage and putting the actors out of their misery.

Or the beachball that hit me on the head during the finale.

I still want to see this damn show...

My ears need a good ole cleaning...

There are other jokes about the show that wouldn't work White. "Guess who's the sister" comes to mind.

Anyone else think this show would be more entertaining with a small emsemble. I think it might clear up some city-weed craziness.

i can't believe it was cancelled. What happens to the people who had tickets??
They should have a better back up plan. It's quite ironic because i had been planning to go to the city to see the evening show today but i opted not to.

yeah, I was going to go home this weekend to see BKLYN...matinee
