Dollypop said: "There was a mezzo who was making her Met debut in IL TROVATORE a few years ago who not only got booed on opening night but had bouquets of broccoli and spinach tossed at her in place of the usual flowers. She withdrew from the production and (to the best of my knowledge) hasn't performed in the States since.



She really was bad, though."

I'm skeptical of this story simply because it's hard to believe someone would bri

If I was a betting man, they’re looking for who will eventually be Hugh’s replacement and use those weeks as sort of a “soft run” for them."

That's entirely possible. But in Jackman's other shows, they've usually opted to just go dark

Maybe broadway shows need intelligent successful producers to guide creative teams to help make the show spectacular.
Maybe..A lead producer would have helped bring the show to where it needed to get to. Maybe we can allow people to apologize for their actions and let them try again rather than banishing them to the upsi

That's the glaring problem with the review from The Wrap, which states:

"The difference with 'MJ' is that it celebrates a pedophile’s life and not only ignores his crimes but whitewashes them."

The reviewer declares the accused to be guilty, and that's that. He, like so many others, has positioned himself as judge, jury, and executioner."

After the incredible buzz she and the production were generating, I quickly bought a ticket for Friday March 13, 2020. Broadway shutdown on Thursday March 12, 2020.

bwaydreamer said: "Hate to break it to people, and I don't like it either, but Rudin is still VERY MUCH working on most of his shows and pulling the strings still. Most producers and actors have not really cut ties with him, or they are scared to because he wasn't "fully canceled" and they know he still has lots of power and will continue to. So these shows are probably still very much alive, just with him lurking in the shadows (and raking in the dough)."
