The problem is, you're demanding change from the incorrect party.

"The left" did not start this. "The left" did not attack the capitol on January 6. "The left" has not spent decades fomenting violence against their political opponents. "The left" have been the ones being attacked, being murdered in their homes, being targeted for assassination. You already pointed out that all the Democratic leaders have condemned this...while the Re

Did Charlie Kirk ever condemn a shooting and agree the victim should not have faced threats of violence or actual violence for any reason? (Spoiler: not a single Republican condemned the assassinations of Minnesota representative Melissa Hortman and her husband less than three mont

"I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."

Congratulations to Maybe Happy Ending. The week after their star leading man left, the same week most shows dropped sharply, and when their new leading man missed three performances on the biggest nights of the week, the show had one of the lowest drops, the 6th highest gross on Broadway, and the 5th highest average ticket price of any show.

Pretty much confirming the show would have held on just fine with the understudies carrying the show for two months until the star returns, a

Come to find out later that it was ballroom House of Juicy Couture who came out to support some of their house members in the cast, but seemed to act like it was the JELLICLE BALL the whole time."

I thought that was you in the

Right, casting Andrew Barth Feldman for a 2 month stint, who did readings of the show and is the leading lady's real life partner, and who is a proven leading actor himself, is a DESPERATE move by the producers. Its actually shocking that producers EVER need to cast anyone because the understudies are always right there and thats how it usually works, right?"

He did not do any readings for the show. He

Bought a ticket to this based on the online raves for the first previews. Saw it today and understand both the raves and the pans, even though my response wasn't as extreme on either end. I'm not sorry I saw it, but also think I could have easily missed it, at least in its current form.

An understudy, Fernell Hogan, was on for the younger male lead, and I thought he was excellent. For the most part I completely forgot he was the understudy and wouldn't have suspect

Did you learn your reading comprehension skills from Boris and Seb? No one's claiming it was a reach.

Just pointing out that the producers were so desperate to get that white stage veteran who had (wow!) done readings (really??? Whole readings???)  over the Asian veterans of the show who had actually performed the role multiple times that they were willing to accept he was unavailable for several of his early dates...when it would be performed by those pesky Asian perform

So... I guess (for me) the question at hand is: Should the purposefully designed intentions of the creators of the show be ignored and disrespected, or should the voices of those who are personally wronged by the "patterns" and "perceptions" mentioned above that this casting decision exemplifies take precedence.

If the purposefully designed intentions of the creators of a show are disrespectful and feed into inequity an

John Adams said: "Any actor (regardless of ethnicity) that facilitates that anthropomorphization process for an audience should be eligible to play the role.

Funny how that only applies in situations to keep roles available for white actors. As has repeatedly been stated, the industry refuses to consider talented Asian actors for many other roles that any talented actor (regardless of ethnicity) could be eligible to play. But when it's a robot in South K

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He's truly surpassed himself this time. 

Broadway is in any way hard for...white gay men?

Broadway? The one in New York City? Where plays and musicals are performed? That Broadway is hard for...white gay men?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣?

Normally I would be onboard the "don't quote the trolls" train, but thank you to the above for letting me know Seb28 (who I blocked long before this thread, when they were being wildly racist in another one; I think either the Gypsy or Sunset thread) lacks reading comprehension skills in addition to their many other problems.

The comment I posted as an image was simply this: "Until Asians have the same access to non-race-specific roles that others do, the least
