Is musical theatre racist?

Question:

Is musical theatre racist?

Someone just told me the what the musical "Cats" is about and I am positively livid Siamese cats are completely unrepresented and infact are DISCRIMINATED AGAINST by not complying with the "jelicle" standard. (i.e. white and black, moderate size, moonlit eyes...) I interrupted the story teller MANY times to explain my dissatisfaction.

When musical theatre can not celebrate the Siamese breed arent we all losing? Shame on you "Cats" producers!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: ummmmmmm...

it isn't the producers fault about the lyrics of the song. Blame Andrew Lloyd Webber on that.

and if I remember correctly, in the movie version of the musical Cassandra was a siamese... the cats are the breed that their costume is. When I was in the show I was a black and white tiger type cat.
