Apart from other suggestions, you may consider talking to a lawyer.

All that being said, i do have a problem with the Variety reporting.
"Sexual misconduct" is a) a conclusion and b) can encompass a wide variety of allegations, some of them extremely egregious, others fairly mild. Juanita Broaddrick's allegation that Bill Clinton raped her and Lee Ann Tweedon's allegation that Al Franken manipulatively put his tongue in her mouth while rehearsing a sexy scene are both allegations of sexual misconduct.

And Dolly. Of course, Dolly. Try doing all that she does when you're in your SEVENTIES(as is Bette and as will soon be Bernadette)."
This is a random factor. Dolly as a role doesn't textually demand a seventy year old actor.

The event is, I believe, financed / co-produced by Jordan Roth which may go a long way towards attracting names.

I just saw it in IMAX but can't really tell what difference it makes. Had the same sound mix issues as disneybroadwayfan22. All through Another Day of Sun I was straining to hear the lyrics and had to check them up online afterwards.
The movie itself I found cute and ultimately underwhelming. The music is hummable but with very wispy vocals from Emma Stone most of the time, and the less said about Gosling's singing the better. As a fan of his, it

Or Pence had told about the statement in advance and given an opportunity to come to the stage and respond or a facilitated talkback (don't @ me about how this would never happen ... I can dream).
I live in Indiana. I can't stand Mike Pence. And I believe as many others have noted that what was

TheGingerBreadMan said: "I believe his reasoning was that as a cis actor, he does not feel that it is appropriate for him to play trans roles. "
He didn't say that about Hedwig. It was in the context of him possibly playing Dr. Frank N. Furter in Fox's RHPS.

If you mean who was approached throughout the run (not specifically who they'd have wanted to go on after Taye) - Adam Lambert said they offered but he declined.

Darren Criss-Yikes, and then meh. Like someone said, definitely the weak link here. I don't think it was his fault completely (Producers may have wanted him to do it), but he butchered "Her Voice." I see why he did the pop Drew Seeley version, but man this song stood out like a sore thumb with the musical theatre songs. Producers should have stuck with the Broadway version.
It was on his request, at least according to this interview: "After hearing the Broadway soundtrack, the 29-year-old asked the producers if he could re-envision the song to better fit his voice. "I don't have a big, Broadway voice, so I am making it a bit more pop-contemporary," says Criss, who will play the guitar and be backed by a full orchestra during the song. "That said, it's still going to be a challenge."

ChildofEarth said: "Oh me as well. I think he's shrill. But it was a thought." Chris Colfer as Don Lockwood was either clueless or trolling. I'm leaning towards the latter. Tony Yazbeck was a replacement in the Drury Lane production a few years back. After OTT, he's really an obvious choice. Can't say I'm confident Weinstein will see it that way.
