Posted: 12/26/09 at 1:29amCount me in as one of the people who think color blind casting is okay for some shows and not for some others. I think that ITH is a great deal about Latino experiences so that's why I'm against casting a non-Latino as Usnavi.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Posted: 12/26/09 at 2:35amSigh...theres been 2 Asian Billys...4 or so black Billys...2 latino Billys(some over lap there).Race in not mentioned in the musical and besides once you see them dance nothing else matters. YES I was worried before I saw the first Asian Billy...took 5 seconds into his first song to make me not care, suspend disbelief for godsake theres DANCING DRESSES in the show, if you cant dont go!
