We did not know the entire ensemble.

Yay for Merle Dandridge and Anastasia McCleskey, who is currently on tour with Hairspray.

I'll have to see it twice, once to see him, another to pay attention to everything else.

So Chester Gregory plays Turk. Am I the only one who's disgusted by this? Are we regressing to the 1920s?

Ah cool, Tim Jerome. Loved him in Phantom. So that's why they're bringing the tour Firmin to the Broadway production.

What's the big deal?

Saw Strickland and Gambatese at the presentation. I already loved Jenn, and Strickland wasn't too bad. And not too bad on the eyes either. And it all looks pretty cool. And very happy to see Donnie in another show, thought he was great in Taboo.

Black guy plays ape. Just as whites are used to seeing him. Not only an ape, but a sidekick ape there to support the white lead. Total throwback.

Wait a minute, isn't Terk a girl? Because SHE was voiced by Rosie O'Donnell in the movie.

Hmmm... no one seems to mind that the "bad guy" in Lion King is white (Scar) and the buffoonish sidekicks(Zazu, Pumbaa and Timon) to the black heroes (Simba & Mufasa)are white. Or that all of the "bad" characters in TARZAN are also white...

Give me a break.

If they cast a white guy in the role and made him look like an ape would you cry that he was in black face. It's a no win, I guess.

I don't suppose instead of bit**ing about it, we could applaud the fact that more minorities will be on Broadway for years to come (TARZAN will, like all Disney shows, run for years).

And let's not forget, no one made Chester Gregory audition OR accept the role. I'm sure, from all that I've read about him as a person, that if it were objectionable he'd not be participating.

Don't consider this an extension of the movie. its a whole new show. Strickland was on Idol? When?
