This is a really excellent review. I appreciate how you put different writers and works of art in conversation. I wish instead of being so defensive Todrick would either own it or rework the material. Your essay reminds me of the importance of the critic especially one as talented and well-read as you!
Another race reversal book is Blonde Roots by Bernardine Evaristo, which is excellent and smart and thoughtful. Which is the opposite of this play, it seems!
This was a fascinating critique, Ira!

Felt my jaw drop a few times reading this, can't imagine what it was like to watch
Whew, bless you for taking this on 🙏🏾
