Oh lookie what Drudge found, from March of 2016...We, sir -- we -- are the diverse America".....How hypocritical of these snowflake actors. They're diverse alright, I'm surprised they didn't just put up a sign "Whites Need Not Apply."

If any federal funds involved, cancel them.

Hamilton takes a story that valorizes dead white guys and replaces it with black, Latino and multi-ethnic performers playing Americas founding fathers. Hey--What about cultural appropriation?

This “Hamilton” show sounds like it would be crap to see.
Saw a GREAT show Thursday night....

As an artistic question sure, he can cast whomever he wants to cast, but he has to give every actor eligible for the role an opportunity to try.But cake bakers and florists can't claim artistic discrimination.

Well, given that most white actors are liberals anyway, I can’t say I care if they starve.
To: Beave Meister
Liberals are tolerant of everything except dissent.

My take:
You want to make an all black Hamilton?
Go ahead.
You want to make an all white Hamilton?
Go ahead.
You want to allow one of these but not the other?
You can go straight to ...

OK, let’s produce a Broadway musical about Haitian liberator Toussaint L’Ouverture, where he and his army of former slaves are depicted entirely by white people.
The Haitian community of New York will love it in the spirit of inclusivity and tolerance.

Sounds like it is a play where rich white liberals can go to purge their white guilt.

One critic said Hamilton takes a story that valorizes dead white guys and replaces it with black, Latino and multi-ethnic performers playing Americas founding fathers. I have just bought tickets to the Phantom of the Opera for my third live performance since 1992. My first was in Los Angeles, Flying from Francisco for two days. My third, locally in Sacramento next year. I would never even think about going to a performance of Hamilton before. Today no one could pay me enough to attend a performance.
An actor who decides to use his performance as an excuse to deliver a personal misguided political diatribe, no matter how "politely" it's delivered, would prompt me simply to leave, without making a fuss.
Oh for the good old Shakesperean times, when actors were required to stay and sleep outside of town, when not actually performing!
Crass and no class then, crass and no class today.
