I’m going down to the theatre and sleep on the sidewalk and wait for the premiere.

I want a Porgy and Bess remake with an all Chinese cast!
Now that would be original!

Davy Jones played the Artful Dodger on the London stage.
So did Phil Collins.

"Cultural appropriation at its finest!" Where is that rich treasure trove of African culture which we are always harangued about every February? If it exists at all it must be mighty thin gruel indeed.

Although Fagin was not specifically identified as Jewish in the musical, his clothing and music were Jewish. Lionel Bart’s tunes for Fagin are based on klezmer modes. Ice Cube doesn’t quite fit the mold.

Why does Hollywood keep thinking they can improve on classic films? To the best of my knowledge they haven’t succeeded once.

Wait — American media is no longer allowed to cast black persons as characters who commit crimes. Only white people can be shown to commit crimes, act stupid, or not know how to operate household machinery. And all background music must be performed by blacks. That’s the rules.
