Why Do Black People Hate Musicals? | Bob the Drag Queen’s Wild Crowd Work in San Diego

Live from the American Comedy Company in San Diego, Bob the Drag Queen dives into one of the most important cultural debates of our time: Do Black people really hate musicals?
Joined by comedian Solomon Georgio, Bob works the crowd to uncover everyone’s most controversial musical opinions — from Rent slander to defending Hairspray (but not Nikki Blonsky), shady takes on Wicked, John Travolta theories, and even a little unexpected crumping in Emerald City.
This extended crowd work clip is pure chaos: straight guys failing to describe a plot, drag queen shade, Black audience honesty, and a healthy dose of musical theatre gossip.
