This new touring production is being capitalized at $17 million dollars; seems like a mistake. 

I’m not someone who’s flippant about gun-related issues or what victims go through.

This was a quick curiosity post, not a statement minimizing anything. You can think the phrasing was off, that’s fair, but jumping straight to assuming I’m being insensitive doesn’t line up with how I usually engage on here.

I would imagine considering there's been literally thousands of working actors on Broadway over the past 100 years, No. And just and incredibly stupid thing to bring up as if it has any relevance?"

I get what you’re saying, but the question wasn’t meant to be dismissive or “irrelevant.” It’s more about curiosity around how far medical treatment and recovery have come. Someone like Megan Thee Stallion being able to go from a traumatic injury like a gunshot wound to performing at a high level on Broadway actually says a lot about modern medicine, rehabilitation, and resilience.

Broadway is physically demanding, and historically, injuries like that could have ended a performer’s career entirely. So the point isn’t that she’s the only one or even definitively the first, it’s that it’s notable and worth talking about how people are able to recover and return to elite performance spaces. It’s less about trivia and more about recognizing how recovery and opportunity have evolved.

What do you mean by this? Whose divorce settlement?"

Orfeh and Karl’s divorce

I’m genuinely asking! 
 

If anyone is curious, in July of 2020 Megan, “suffered multiple gunshot wounds.” 

Is Megan Thee Stallion the first gun shot victim to perform on Broadway? 

Reportedly, the divorce settlement included a payout to Karl for McCanns IVF treatment… what a scumbag!

How far is the show from recoupment?

The scenic design was the least of The Queen of Versailles’ issues; It was probably the only thing that worked. The show could’ve had a minimalist design and the show still would have closed just as quickly as it did.

Any relation the McMahon family of WWE fame?"

Just answered my own question: 

Marissa McMahon, the wife of Shane McMahon and daughter-in-law of former WWE CEO Vince McMahon and Education Secretary Linda McMahon, is a producer on "Train Dreams" with the production company she cofounded, Kamala Films. The movie, streaming on Netflix, is a period drama that grabbed four Oscar nominations including best picture.

Yuck

This is the type of casting Death Becomes Her should be getting… how is Heathers Off-Broadway securing Lisa Ann Walter??

I wonder if the title Magic Mormon Mystery is a nod to the Benson Boone song Mystical Magical. Boone was raised in the LDS church, but is no longer a member.

Sounds like Nicholaw!
