selection: The Globe found that the agency that represents the white singer had included the role on her Web page, according to Globe and Mail. Bellamy, a Calgary-based theatre artist, was uncomfortable with this. But an e-mail exchange between Bellamy and the interim artistic director appear to indicate that a selection had been made. In the hit musical, which premiered on Broadway in 1949, Bloody Mary is supposed to be from Tonkin, now a region of Vietnam. The short answer is it's 2017, he says, when asked why he left the production. Bellamy believes strongly that the character should not be played by a white performer.
