Thrift Store Find: The Black Mikado!

After you’ve watched The Wiz live tonight on NBC, if you’re still hankerin’ for a new and different take on a beloved musical, check out this LP I saw in a thrift store (but left there for you):

It’s The Black Mikado! 

Hmm…culturally-insensitively-written Asian characters traditionally played by white actors now being played by African-American actors?

Wow, I don’t even know where to begin with who I’m offended by this one, but I’ll start with Goodwill, who wanted $2.99 for it.
