Minnesota theater cancels ‘Cinderella’ production due to ’98 percent white’ cast

A Minnesota theater has canceled an upcoming performance of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” over concerns regarding the cast’s lack of diversity.

In a release, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres said its staff and leaders “believe unapologetically” in their decision to replace the performance with one “Footloose!”

“It was 98 percent white,” Michael Brindisi, the theater’s artistic director, told the Twin Cities Pioneer Press. “That doesn’t work with what we’re saying we’re going to do.”

  1. Cinderella:

    Original storylines first published in 15th and 19th centuries by white men about white people.
    Original 20th century lyrics and music written by white men about white people.
    Original 20th century stage and musical casts made up of white main characters.
    What’s the beef?

    Changing well known original stories to be “inclusive” almost always = flop.

  2. Why do we continue to buy into this stupidity. A few complain and we are expected to kneel to the demands. Get over yourselves and deal with it. Leave it alone.

  3. Ok , what is the Race split on FOOTBALL ,BASKETBALL , BASEBALL ?? Don’t hear you now !!!!

    Few Whites are there getting Rich !!!!!
