R & J Hot Take

With the controversy with the Romeo and Juliet understudies off book and cut of songs I wanted to bring this topic to life.

I saw this production at the beginning of the month with no understudies. Rachel Zeigler is a gorgeous singer and actress, but I have a hot take. I do not think Man of the House is a necessary songs and it is completely random. It does not benefit the plot in any way and my first thought was that they just wanted to add a song for Rachel to sing in the play. If I am completely off please let me know and I'll take down the post but that is my hot take!
