To CurtainPullDowner-
I remember reading that Ethel Merman was not Jewish.

Yeah, Ethel Agnes Zimmerman was Episcopalian, not Jewish. Why is she on www.jewish-theatre.com?

Super, super late bumping, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Alex Wyse (Georg in the Spring Awakening revival) is Jewish. The cast had a Secret Santa, Alex joked that he forgot to put his name in, and Andy Mientus (Hanschen) clarified that Alex actually didn't participate because he was Jewish. The Cleveland Jewish News also interviewed Wyse re: Spring Awakening.

Really... REALLY...? It's been 8 years and you thought it was worth bumping to share that you THINK Broadway "Star" Alex Wyse is Jewish?

This is one of my favorite replies on this entire website. I'm crying.

Lindsay Mendez, Mandy Gonzalez and Andrea Burns are actually each half Jewish and half Latina!

Jewish and Latina are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

What am I missing? What is the point to bringing this thread back? Are we now stooping to the level of Trump and friends? the Blacklist, Trumbo? Okay, who are the muslims on Broadway? Who are the transgendered? People we are much better than this.

Sorry for adding to this needless thread. My observation was that it is sad that so many of the early posters are no longer active on this board. I would say threads like this are the reason...

Why are you bumping a thread that’s been dead for years?

Why do you guys take this so seriously ? It’s a message board. Not a cult. ... or is it ? Chill out.
