Musical theater Paper- Focus on Race on Broadway

1. How relevant or appropriate do you feel is a show about a non-white culture, written and produced by white authors, composers and directors?

2. Recently some theaters have revised the show to make it a mixed race show, with white singers in the various roles, and removing much of the Gullah dialect. What is your opinion of this?

3. With its white-to-black shows, shows written by white authors about black life, and finally, black written shows about black culture, has Broadway been a positive influence on race relations?

4. Some people say that nothing has changed – that the practice of creating all-black casts is simply another way of perpetrating the early practice of black written revues being performed for black and white audiences. What is your opinion?
