Broadway and Theatre as a whole has been changing immensely even since I was a kid just less than twenty years ago. It is battling the predetermined notions of big stage theatre being a white washed image of culture to the middle and upper class society of America. With productions like Hamilton breaching the market, theatre artist and viewers are beginning to look more closely at who exactly is being represented on stage. Equal racial representation on broadway is a very in topic right now with debates over everything from the crazy ticket prices of Hamilton or casting decisions on the new production of Mulan. But is everything really improving as much as we think? Are all group really represented. I enjoyed this article because it opened my eyes to all the minorities not being represented enough in the theatre world, including Native Americans. If we are to really make a radical change to the image of Broadway and racial inclusion then we have to make a conscious effort to get a voice for all groups.
