Broadway is giving our founding fathers gender re-assignment surgery.

The new Broadway revival of the classic musical 1776 features a cast comprised entirely of women, transgender, and “non-binary” actors. The woke staging, courtesy of the prestigious Roundabout Theatre Company and American Repertory Theater, officially opened Thursday at the American Airlines Theatre in New York, with a national tour expected to kick off next year.

1776 dramatizes the signing of the Declaration of Independence, following John Adams (played by actress Crystal Lucas-Perry) as he attempts to persuade members of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia to declare independence from Britain.

Among the transgender and “non-binary” cast members is a performer named Sav Souza in the role of founding father Dr. Josiah Bartlett, who represented New Hampshire in the Continental Congress. Souza recently declared on Instagram that transgender people existed back in 1776.

“Trans People Have Always Existed – they existed in 1776, and they absolutely exist ON BROADWAY!” the actor wrote alongside a photo displaying what appears to be her double mastectomy scars.

Ben was a bit racy but definitely not trans

[Nifster]

Yup. With a great cast

I’m sure this will be a smash hit, just like “Hamilton”.

It’s so edgy, provocative and so perfect for rubbing normals’ noses in it.

Where is the money coming from for this stuff?

Rich liberals, mostly living off of trust funds set up by their parents or grandparents who worked for a living.

[dfwgator]

Too much idle wealth.

[rlmorel]

"Homicide! Homicide!"

[dfwgator]

What’s next, a Gay Hitler?

[dfwgator]

"THAT'S OUR WASHINGTON!"

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Guaranteed to be a financial disaster. But some things are more important than your profit.

[frank ballenger]

LOL

[Organic Panic]

Maybe transexuals in the regular sense of men or women pretending to be the opposite sex. But nothing like we have now with people getting hormones and mutilating their bodies.

[Political Junkie Too]

How many of them were appointed to represent their colonies at the Continental Congress?

[wetgundog]

What a F’n zoo, with strange animals.

[gathersnomoss]

A Mythical play...

[Retrofitted]

I didn’t have a problem with the slavery thing as much as the push of Dickinson and his coalition being assigned “the right” (”Cool, Cool Considerate men”). To me, that essentially placed Conservatives as the group hungry for power and desperate to maintain their wealth while the Liberals were the ones who sought freedom. Probably me being too sensitive, but still, it irked.

[mass55th]

So basically “Hamilton” in drag.

[teeman8r]

there are no straight actors on broadway these days...

[Allegra]

Eeeeewwwwwww.

I’m glad I saw that musical a few times as it was meant to be seen, before the sick, twisted, depraved woke jerks decided to destroy it.

One important thing I learned during my art education is that works of art in museums, plays that reach the stage, music that gets promoted, and other art forms find success due to the money that promotes them. If conservatives wish to see a change in the arts, then work your way onto the Board of Trustees for your local art museum, become a funding member of your local theater playhouse, and help promote your local musicians. Works just like the school board. City Councils use your tax dollars to fund public art and they vote on the artists that will represent the city. The NEA funds them with your tax dollars. (Remember "Piss Christ?"). Get involved so you can vote on it too and make your voice heard.

So when you find yourself staring at a work of art in a city museum and wondering what mental midget with a box of crayons and a glue gun created it... well someone had to buy it or donate it to the museum in order for it to be there, or had to have a voting membership to said museum in order to vote for which pieces they purchase during the year. Read Ayn Rand's "Romantic Manifesto" to see how communists have infiltrated art with the intention to redefine "beauty" into soul-sucking meaninglessness.

Over a decade ago, I let my membership to my city's museum of art lapse because I got tired of seeing mediocre art being elevated solely based on the artist's race. I recently realized that my disconnection won't make it stop.. . rather, I needed to get more involved and attend their soirees and vote on the funding. Walking away won't make them change their minds. Taking over their little club might.

The movie was okay, but the original Broadway production was wonderful.
