Patty! Loving the bangs gurl. Great review, as usual. My go to for all things Broadway.

I subscribed after watching your Fun Home review and love you girls! I had heard about this show, I figured it would be something like this though at least it has interesting elements. If you guys ever wanna talk about musicals I'd love to!

+tara thelen Do it!!!

Your review brings up some interesting conflicts in bringing this story to the stage. It's racist, yet it's in a time period when people thought it was okay to own a servant (would that make it non-racist at the same time since that was the general opinion of the time). Some people did believe they were "better off" than in Africa. And remember, the abolitionists in the UK were decades ahead of America (the short scene with the trader headed to Manhattan was a nice touch). You can act like people should KNOW BETTER, but they didn't, it was before the Declaration of Independence when even whites were suffering under Brit rule-of-law. And like today, cops should know better than to shoot black people for walking down a stairwell in the dark BUT THEY DO, and we read the news, turn the page, and life goes on. It happened then and they lived to tell about it. Where are the playwrights telling the stories of the black men dying every f-ing day. No need to call the producers racist, they made it to show a bad time in human history while adding a "silver lining" ... the song AMAZING GRACE that has since then given so many suffering people hope. I only hope people keep watching your review to the end to hear your glowing comments of the cast, costumes, etc. I think U skipped the special effects which I found exceptional. Like you, I wish they had chosen another character to frame the story, with John Newton more in the background. But a long rant on racism doesn't serve the black population or a couple of privileged white girls. Why aren't 1 of YOU black, Asian, etc. They don't get free tickets to opening nights that's for sure??

For crying out loud, enough with the swearing already. You're not 14 years old anymore; at some point you have to grow up and at least pretend that you can put an intelligent sentence together (and a review of a play doesn't really require that type of anger anyway). Irony: you complain about books and plots and stories all the time, yet you can't form a sentence without swearing.

Hi! We noticed you also commented about this on a different video. If it's that much of an issue for you, you don't have to watch our videos. We will not be limiting our vocabulary. And in this instance, blatantly racist mainstream entertainment does merit that amount of anger.

+mrsj1417 I agree with Patty and Emily on this. It's their vlog, it's their brand. They are honestly expressing how they feel and I, for one, appreciate honesty in expression of visceral experiences in theatre. You don't have to watch these videos. It's not like anyone is forcing you.

That's not "vocabulary". It's ridiculous and makes you look uneducated, classless and ignorant. (Picture the First Lady talking that way? Didn't think so). And I can comment on it just as you comment on the plays you see; it's the same thing. Grow up already.

We all have to be true to ourselves. Theatre knows this, and I've heard a lot of colorful language thrown around stages. I'm sure you have too.

+mrsj1417 I love how passionate they are about theatre, I love how opinionated they are, and how unapologetic they are about their opinions. I love how natural they are on camera, they're being themselves and I love that. Don't change a thing Patty and Emily, your videos bring me joy :)

Patty love the bangs hun!
