Every time someone says anything even a little bit critical of this production they are deemed as white privileged people who can't possibly fathom the grandness of such a revolutionary revival.
Newsflash, the revival is not revolutionary, is not even that good. Audra as always is great, but miscast vocally and that's not because she's black, it's because her voice doesn't suit the material. The direction is misguided and managed to f* up impactful moments such as the whole strip scene and tries but not hard enough to comment on things such as white washing and the way black people had to mold themselves to white audiences to be perceived as any good, but doesn't dig deep enough in those comments leaving everything as a big "meh?"and not really making us think about what it was trying to achieve in the first place.
The diehard fans of this revival can scream to heavens all they want but it still will lose almost if not all the Tonys to Sunset and the LuPone revival still is the one to beat, and that's just a fact. And yeah Mary, I'm also black so don't try me with the "oh you're white so your opinion doesn't matter""
Thanks for showing us the textbook definition of being deranged.
