Focusing on the MMA thing is weird since she said (in so many words) - Reagen Jan 9, 14:05 18
- Fox news was focused on her seething hatred for all things good about 'murica (its on the main monitor at the Y) -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 9, 15:16

    - also what JD said below -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 14:17
- I thought that she included Mixed Martial Arts for the wordplay of following with not arts. Her live speech used the words, not MMA -- nm - JD Jan 9, 14:13
- Yep, it's people looking for an excuse to not listen to what she has to say. -- nm - Roger More Jan 9, 14:10
- [deleted]

The guy playing Burr in Hamilton in Chicago is moving to the national tour. The new Chicago Burr is: Wayne Brady -- (link) - ty97 Jan 9, 13:58 17
- He's pretty talanted, so I have no doubt he can do it. But I wonder if he'll get way bigger laughs on the minor laugh lines than he should. - mara Jan 9, 14:04 5
  - Yeah, I was thinking the same. - Dark Callisto Jan 9, 14:06 2

  - There it is. -- nm - con_carne Jan 9, 14:04
  - there it is. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 9, 14:04
- ...hm. -- nm - Diva Jan 9, 13:59 6
  - I would need to see him in action. Normal reaction would be 'stunt casting' but Hamilton doesn't need to do that yet. -- nm - ty97 Jan 9, 14:00 5
    - I'm sure he will be fine. I would just prefer they cast these other productions with people who aren't names yet. - Diva Jan 9, 14:05 2
      - I get what you mean. King George was always the exception to that rule, so Killam is okay, but seeing this in other rules, agreed. -- nm - ty97 Jan 9, 14:07
      - its my preference too -- nm - Epiphany Jan 9, 14:06
    - It feels like he'd break into comedy improv at any second. - Mel Profit Jan 9, 14:03 1

  - I wish it was my day off. -- nm - Diva Jan 9, 13:56
