Is the Broadway production of “Hamilton” composed of high and mighty hypocrites?
We’ve all heard how Vice President-elect Mike Pence was booed by people in the audience upon arriving to view the musical “Hamilton.” The video of cast member Brandon Dixon’s “conversation” lecture to Pence from the stage has gone viral. In an interview held after the performance, Dixon continued to ride his moral high horse by pointing out oh-how-diverse the “Hamilton” company was.
Yes, “Hamilton” represented diversity. Except when it didn’t.
Turns out that in March the production company posted a casting notice seeking “non-white” performers. They emphasized that requirement in ALL CAPS.
I see. So only non-whites could apply. And only non-whites have the ability to rap? Someone tell Eminem.
