Profile for SeanD2

Lot of overlap for me, but this would be mine:

• The Full Monty (yes it opened in the last couple months of the 20th Century, but it was eligible for the Tony in the 21st)
• The Producers
• Hairspray
• Caroline, or Change
• The Light in the Piazza
• Next to Normal
• Fun Home 
• Hamilton
• Come From Away
• The Band's Visit

Agreed that Caroline, Or Change would be the pinnacle

And all of these people would legitimately deserve it.

I just read some of the Facebook comments on the post. Wow. 

Chris & OnStageBlog are all about manufacturing sanctimonious outrage to drive clicks and traffic. Remember when they were trying to publish their own version of the infamous unpublished NYT piece?

KO uses they/them pronouns"

Given the article makes no reference to KO's pronouns how would the original poster know?

Would this all be solved by the producers paying to have ABF take a 23 & Me test to see if he does have any Asian heritage? 

There should be an open letter from the theater community demanding that any actor who has been in Cursed Child be disinvited from any industry event due to their support of Rowling.

 

sarcasm, obviously

I wonder how many of them even have a Broadway credit. Courtney Love certainly doesn't. 

And referencing Dan Snyder's behavior in the workplace or Will Smith's physical violence is absolutely not the same as an individual being rude in an interview.

Truly ridiculous. Sounds cliche, but this is cancel culture at its absolute worst."

And it's clear that the demand of "Individuals, including Patti Lupone, who use their platform to publicly demean, harass, or disparage fellow artists— particularly with racial, gendered, or otherwise violent language—should not be welcomed at industry events, including the Tony Awards, fundraisers, and public programs." doesn't apply to all of those people in the Broadway "community" who publicly demeaned, harassed, and disparaged Laura Osnes, Bailey Hanks, Clifton Duncan, and Chad Kimball. 

For many of those who have been complaining about the Trump takeover at the Kennedy Center, I think it's appropriate that we at least applaud Grenell's firing of Floyd Brown for his anti-LGBT rhetoric. Perhaps the "new" Kennedy Center won't be as bad as some have speculated.

It's important to remember this is not a command performance for the President. It's not a political event. It's a single performance of a national tour that the President just happens to be attending. The vast majority of people at the performance besides the President and his entourage will have voted against him. I would say absolutely the actors should boycott a performance in the White House or performing at a rally, but that's not what this is.

If you really want to know in the most verified concrete manner, you're free to download the list of all of Trump's donors from the FEC website. It includes employer & occupation information and you can search for specific names / industries.
