Besides I may be wrong, but I believemany of them not only voted but donated a lot of money not only to this current administration but to Israel."Gasp! How dare anyone support I...

violetsandroses said: "I've found it rather alarming thatexcuses are being made for Arden. He's an openly gay director who, on this show, is working with a zionist on the composing team, and LJ is straight up a member of one of the worst mega churches here in the US. A church that infamously supports conversion therapy and generally does not support LGBTQ members. And then that interview where he's like "the rainbow can mean anything". It's just too suspect for me personally. All of this on t...

SteveSanders said: "Yes, I recall some brief discussion (and general dismissal I think) of this idea in the TONY Awards thread. I look forward to seeing Pink on an NYC stage, but Diana Goodman is probably not the right point of entry."Why? She can sing that score in her sleep. We don't actually know if she can act.

ColorTheHours048 said: "I’m also not even saying disliking deBessonet’s directing style is sexist. I’m saying that making a statement like “she’s being handed this job because of Into the Woods” is sexist at worst and misinformed at best. You can dislike her, but acting like she appeared out of nowhere with ITW and got this job at LCT as a result is absurd." understood - apologies. I don't disagree there.

Suggesting that someone is sexist because they don't like her work is truly absurd. All we do is go to our corners and argue. It's ridiculous. Some of my favorite directors working today are women. But I think Lear is one of the weakest directors in NYC right now. That makes me sexist???

MysteriousLady said: "Lincoln Center's Met Opera has presented Black artists as European characters for years. If we can have a Black Mimiwe can have a Black Maria at the Lincoln Center Theater. Musicals are not documentaries."Mimi was not a real woman.

Cape Twirl of Doom said: "RippedMan said: "I haven't been since the pandemic, but I'd always get a great seat up in the Balcony for fairly cheap? But maybe that's changed. I guess their whole model needs to be updated. Longer rehearsal process, etc."I got a front row balcony seat for La Cage for $38. Great view. No discount, that’s the regular price of $35 plus $3 fee. There are tons of cheap options to see Encores, just not in the orchestra." I sadly can't sit up there without getting full b...

Kad said: "We understand that when somebody says “nobody wants to see this,” it’s hyperbole and not them telling you how you should feel, right?"Yes. And most adults understand it's still obnoxious.

The Distinctive Baritone said: "There is no way this show is ever going to Broadway. Taylor Mac decided to center the story around one of the many supporting characters (Lady Chablis), presumably for both personal artistic interest in creating a non-binary leading character and to meet the moment when public interest in such a character was probably at its peak. But as the reviews stated in the kindest way possible, this was a colossal misfire, resulting in a disjointed pairing of the main st...

Maria Von Trapp wasn't "originated by a white woman", she WAS a white woman. A real living, breathing one.

I am abroad so haven't been able to watch. Did they seriously put up a curtain? What a small, pathetic man.
