We're considering Hairspray JR. Most of the students participating in theatre are Latino or Asian (we have very few students who are white or black that participate in the program). Are there suggestions for how to diversify the script?

Hairspray JR with Latino & Asian students
Hi there!
My school is doing Hairspray JR this year. We are a diverse urban school and most of the students participating in theatre are Latino or Asian (we have very few students who are white or black that participate in the program). Are there suggestions for how to approach casting when students are non-white but are members of other races that are not African American?

Hairspray with non-diverse cast
Hi!
I know that you have sent emails in the past with information on doing Hairspray with a non-diverse cast and I would greatly appreciate that information. In my case we have a lot of different ethnicities, but few white students and a small amount of native African students. The rest of the student population is Asian and Hispanic. I would love to do this musical if possible.

Can I produce this musical without the racial diversity?
Because of the nature of the show, I was wondering if there was an adaptation of this show that could include a non-diverse cast.
