Shownotes Transcript

In this Boles.tv live stream highlight, David Boles examines the problem with the Broadway production of -- THE LION KING -- and the bigoted decision by Shelly Guy and Lisa Carling to remove a White American Sign Language Interpreter for the Deaf because he wasn't the correct skin color to perform the show. THE LION KING was written, on both the big screen and the musical stage, by White people. The decision to fire Keith Wann will live in infamy across the long, and oftentimes, misbegotten history of Broadway as non-traditional casting, and woke influences, become more important than doing the right thing by the best, and most able, talent.
