not handy manny

if anyone has any audios (or videos) from yesterday or today’s final show - just know i would trade anything and everything i have for it!!

the outsiders cast in other shows

“they’re robots” “it’s only for 9 weeks” that’s not the point and you know it. it’s setting a standard that it’s ok to cast white actors in asian roles. it’s not like this is two or three replacements down the line, this is the very first replacement. there were wonderful understudies right there, and I’m sure they could have found an asian actor beyond that anyway. they had time to make this decision. there are certain lines (like “that guy looks like james! and THAT guy looks like james!”) that will be uncomfortable now. and even disregarding the content of the show entirely, there is going to be an asian kid in the audience who will look up and not have the chance to see himself anymore, there are going to be asian actors seeing this announcement and giving up because an asian actor couldn’t even get cast in an asian musical. we’re going backwards.

is anyone going to Brody’s last show? if you are willing get an audio or video (although video is always preferred it does not matter) and trade pls lmk. :(( so sad to see him go
