“Native American people, First Nations people, Algonquin people, The People of the Dawnland were left out HAMILTON, and it was no accident.

Read MoreImperative.
Crucial.
Necessary.
These are words that I wrote down while thinking about and plotting out this write-up for THE HIDDEN ONES NYC. In my notes I had even underlined “Necessary.”
Read MoreFirst up: Here’s a fun collection of some of our favourite artists covering the musical theatre greats. It’s not meant to be a comprehensive list; not everyone’s faves are going to be on it. Not everyone is going to make every list every time. This isn’t a list of the “best,” it’s just that: a mixed tape. Also excluded were more recent folks from the theatre community covering theatre songs.
Read MoreWe’re doing another series that celebrates some of the very best voices for their vocal ranges, with a primary focus on (but not limited to!) theatre. Many will be well-known, while others you may not have heard of (until now). Your faves might not make the list, but here are some that deserve some love, too!

Not a single person is so talented that they and their abusive, inexcusable behavior cannot be replaced by someone equally talented, creative, capable and qualified--if not more--. No art is so good that it is worth the expense of someone else. No one is so talented that their abuse of others can be excused. No one is so talented that terrible behavior can be excused.
