damondauno: * ·✵ · “It’s unbelievable to be able to play the beautiful princess and to not be the butt of the joke which is so much of the roles for larger actors. I meet a lot of young girls at stage door that are so blown away and have tears in their eyes about it. It doesn’t go past me the importance of what this show is. We’re representing so many people on stage that have never seen themselves before.” -Bonnie Milligan “I get to be a Black princess and I love it! And to say to people in the audience who think they’re not beautiful in society, but in this time and space they are, I would never trade that moment in the world.” -Arica Jackson “A lot of the people in the audience are queer, gender non-conforming, trans, non-binary. As sure about themselves as they feel, they rarely every get to see themselves reflected back, which means they have no support. And knowing that we can provide that for people just feels great. -Peppermint · ·✹ * THANK YOU HEAD OVER HEELS FOR ALL OF THIS! -- source link
