      Not all performance spaces are created equal. This seems like an open mic or something where the sets aren't the primary focus of the audience and that's ok. Also theatre etiquette can be so stifling sometimes I long for a theatre setting that is more relaxed.

      It really doesn't matter what the person who popularized the role looked like - it just makes me think, "Oh. You're insecure about your version of the show, so you feel the need to mimic someone else's."

    • @edeneph4519
      @edeneph4519 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      So far I've played one of the sisters in Pirates of Penzance which was really fun, and Harry Potter in this play that I wrote for my drama club at my school (long story). I'm against typecasting at all, like when I did Harry Potter again this yeah there was this red headed kid who wanted to play Ron, but he had the worst attitude you'd ever seen (he quit thank god) but he was playing hagrid. Thank god i had an understudy for him and she's the sweetest person ever and a much better actor. So now I have a black girl playing hagrid, which you probably wouldn't expect, but whatever works, especially with how amazing she is! So basically... idk what the moral is it's just a story about my life 😂

    This is too relatable. I’m half black, five feet tall, but I have a very large vocal range and there’s no roles for me. I can sing opera, I’m an alto. No one wants to cast a girl who physically is too small for the cast but has such a large stage presence that she can’t even fit into the background. And that’s been a problem for me since I was 6. My dream roles are Elphaba and Christine, and to an unrealistic extent Alexander Hamilton. But I’m a girl, I’m half black, and I’m 5 feet tall.
