Candida, people who are bias never really believe that they are. They will laugh, make jokes at your expense and never really examine the issue. I believe that racism, bias and the "hate card" are used far too frequently, however, that doesn't mean they don't exist!
Remember, the critics hated the Wiz the same way. They said that Judy Garland would be turning over in her grave! The public kept it open for years. You really can't pay much attention to these pseudo intellectual Broadway types. Most of them could not sing or act their way out of a paper bag. They want what they saw yesterday. Put a bunch of Black people in a show singing ‘bout dem old days. "Lawdy lawdy lawd. I jus luv dem so. I’s so tired, my feets sho is a hurtin!" Good old fashioned, loyal, hard workin, sweatin folk. Had Maurice Hines put a couple of scenes in the show like this they would have loved it!
Tony nods for all!!!

It's sort of like the way that Chenoweth can only do one role no matter that the show is
