This is the BEST performance of Bye Bye Birdie out and about!! The acting, staging decisions, vocals and more made the characters come alive until even their caricature-like qualities feel real. It’s more relevant today than ever before with Mae's realistic racism and predjuduces, and Rosie's story of overcoming and winning by living her happily ever after. Her final, "Call me Mrs Peterson," hits so good!
So this version STILL has the VERY offensive, anti-Latino comment at the end of Mae's speech. Unacceptable. But they have the cultural competence to cast an Asian Albert. Boy does this country not know what diversity is.
@@derikshopinski5651 There was a revised version where a song replaced the offensive speech. I am well aware of how royalty agreements work genius. And you are a bigot if you are OK with the original version which is even more defamatory today.
@@NickyMay16 where did Init was ok? I was just pointing out, that the general public doesn't know, that you can't just make changes or deletions. I would have no way of knowing that you are very well aware of how royalties work.
@@NickyMay16 The whole point is that Albert falls in love with Rosie and doesn't care about her race. Mae, his mom, does not approve of most things he does including who he wants to marry. Mae is supposed to be offensive and rude to Rosie because it's her character. and in the end, she really is just a character. So, take a deep breath and go be offended about something else 😉
@@merryleeandrews4916 Your ignorance is staggering. First, you do not know the difference between ethnicity and race. Very ignorant. And in the history of Broadway there have been only a handful of times that a show was revised because the content was later deemed offensive. This offensive speech was replaced by a song... a MAJOR statement. Keep your blonde ignorance to yourself.
The actor who plays Albert is going places !!! Bravo to everyone for such a wonderful performance!!

Royalty agreements prohibit making changes (additions/deletions) etc. Take it up with them.
