I love everything about this. Good for them. 
I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

Good for them for speaking up on this matter. No one in this country should ever be called a "son of a bitch" for exercising their right to peaceful protest, especially not by the President. This nation really isn't looking out for some of their citizens and it's time to speak up in a peaceful, but persistent manner.

To stand up against bigotry, sometimes we have to kneel down.

The amount of hateful reactions to this is nauseating.

A company of Asian, black, and white actors who just performed a show that depicts the brokenness of the American Dream. I assure you, this is not a publicity stunt; these actors fully believe in the cause and are standing up (by kneeling) to fight bigotry. (Also, this video was filmed by a friend who was there to support new cast member Jonelle Margallo’s Broadway debut. This wasn’t filmed by anyone involved with the show.)

I was referring to the first part:

Didn't realize this poster had the opportunity to speak with each participant.

This is great I hope that more shows might think about doing this as well.

I was at 1984 tonight. They did not do it this evening. I suspect this will now happen at other shows.

I’ve spoken to a few, yes. Many of them have shared the video on social media as well.

Yes! So very proud of them for doing this. I’m surprised Hamilton hasn’t done it yet.

At least they kept it down to one word. But I guess once a supporter always a supporter.
