In my opinion, a big part of the contrast in fame between iris and tyrone is the racial barrier. I think that the director of any adaptation of this show should strive to cast tyrone as african amaerican if possible, but if not, the show will go on.
I was a part of this cast, and we had only caucasian people in the cast, not because we discriminate, but because our school was a huge slice of white bread. Nobody else auditioned for the show. His dancing and his WILLINGNESS to rap got him the part. But, he's what we had, and it could have been a lot worse. I don't think that the world will end is Tyrone isn't African American, it just means you have to fiddle with the character a bit. It worked, sort of...
He's good. I like the fact that he's actually Tyrone Jackson. He may not b black, but words are changeable. Y didn't u change the character to the alternate name, Jack Zakowski, the Russian dancer? Most of the lines r the same, and there's still racial tension. Also there aren't many lines to deal with racism. Only like 3 lines that really metion the race of Tyrone, and the rap. Nothing else really matters, as long as he acts like he's from the streets. You could have a chinese kid if u needed.
ok i argree that tyrone should be black, but sometimes the best person for the part doesnt fit what the part calls for physically. i'm white, and i played Dorothy in The Wiz, and it wasnt because my director was purposefully crossing racial lines. i'm sure this actor underwent alot of scrutiny for being white, just like tyrone undergoes alot of scrutiny for being black in the play. also, it's a high school production, so they probably didnt have a ton of people to chose from.
it is really good...but was their a lack of black boys auditioning ...isnt the rap about a black boy talking about black pride and black experiences.... *taboo* lol
um... what?

It doesn't matter if he's not black he was great.
rubyrazzledazzle 4 years ago
yes it does, sorry.
that was one of the big themes of the play: the racial struggle that tyrone went through. it takes away from the seriousness of his character.
god. i LOOOOOOOOOOVE how every single person on youtube who played tyrone is white, except for mine. and my recording's shitty.
so disappointing.
