Could be complete idiocy. Have you noticed the lack of originality in modern writers? People take a good story, then re-write it to its opposite? What is evil becomes good, misunderstood. Male characters are switched to female characters. We saw this being done to old fairy tales, and more recently to the Wizard of Oz. Let's take someone else's story and switch it around. To get people interested they carefully advertise it is a different perspective on a well-loved story.
Why can't an opposite themed story stand on its own two feet? Why couldn't Wicked, for example stand or fall on its own, no relation to The Wizard of Oz?
To me, what they are admitting a Black woman cannot stand by herself, but must be propped up by Jesus Christ Superstar. Isn't it more an insult to Black women than a blasphemy of Jesus? Heaven forbid Black women have their own story to tell.
