Again, Nick Choksi is NOT WHITE.

Wait what? ***Nick Choksi is NOT white***. He is Indian, and very PROUDLY so. Just FYI.

Thanks for that reminder, was an important distinction, but I still want to know if catastrophically low means low profit or no profit

Definitely a hard sell - remember it wasn’t developed for Broadway, not originally. It was developed to be its own incredible exuberant experience, and Rachel Chavkin just NAILED it, and it was huge, so naturally they thought they could share it with the world and rake in the money. I guess when you start a Broadway…

No but seriously thank YOU guys, for actually listening.

And yes, there are other actors of color in this production (I even know some of them) because Malloy and Chavkin worked hard to make this production a diverse explosion of talent and energy and color, and those jobs are important and should be protected too, but that didn’t make this suck any less.

.......is that obvious? How?

I know how money works (for the most part), I GET that one of the worst problems with Broadway is capitalism. But when I saw this picture, it was at the exact same time that I learned that Oak was replacing Groban,…

I am deeply wounded and utterly insulted that you would think I knew enough to answer that

Thank you!

Are there even any newish “grew up poor” celebrities out there?

Ha! EXCEPTIONS THAT PROVE THE RULE

D&D’s huge success with GoT was with adapting an already written story and shaping it for another medium. I have no clue what experience they have with creating truly original content - does anyone know if they actually have some experience that was eclipsed by GoT? (I know I could google it but I am at work and have…

I think that what they are thinking is that the magic ingredient is “distance’. People are in denial seeing the tragedy that is real life in America right now, so if we can abstract it a little, we can trick the American audience into actually absorbing how terrible it all is and thinking about the issues without…

Life expectancy was across the board much much lower lower in the 1700s, let alone 2k years ago

Further evidence that science and medicine are a waste of our tax dollars! Pull up your bootstraps and heal thyself, lazy assholes!

Anyone else always read her name as JUSTIN DIAMOND and then immediately see DUSTIN DIAMOND in your mind’s eye?
