This musical MUST be protested by Scandanavian groups, since it features TWO BLACK ACTORS. Utterly sickening. Both the lead for Kristoff and understudy for Anna (!) are BLACK. This from a musical that takes place in an explicit replica of the cultures of Denmark, Iceland, and Norway, in a time where they would not even have known that Black people existed. Just imagine if they case a White actor as Moana or Maui in a Broadway version of "Moana". It would be a national scandal.

We all know the new casting rule: once you go black you can't go back.

I wonder if The Lion King is hiring white actors.

Or Porgy and Bess.

Just like teh politically correct furor that forced the recent closing of Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812, a Tony Award nominee for Best Musical this year. A black actor who had replaced a white actor in the lead was not selling tickets, so he was to be replaced by a white actor who was a name-above-the-title star. The PC crowd and the race hustlers made a stink, he withdrew, and teh show was forced to close.

There is your recent example of what would happen in your scenario.
