You know Broadway is coming back. But here’s something you probably don’t know: Some of the biggest shows have been revising onstage moments to reflect concerns about race. nyti.ms/3vAYFnP
The changes, many prompted by concerns from actors, have not been announced, and I stumbled across this story idea when I went to the reopening of “The Lion King” and noticed that Timon no longer refers to Rafiki as a monkey. (Yeah, I’ve seen “The Lion King” a few times.)
@MichaelPaulson Fascinating, but there are always flaws to this amending. The changes to #JaggedLittlePill have not prevented protests against it - primarily due to the fact that most of the opposition to it is related to behind the scenes problems which will can never be erased...
@MichaelPaulson So now we will only view art through the lens of current ideals.
@MichaelPaulson I generally agree with the discussion of racism in our public discussion, but the examples in your article play into the racist Republican hands. How about asking is Homer Simpson a racist portrayl of white males.
