LuPita2 said: "You clearly know him, are friends with him, or are affiliated with the company. He has caused a lot of pain and has never apologized. He has made people uncomfortable. He has made a young women mortified and humiliated."I'm not affiliated with him or the company. I am a ballet fan though, and there has been extensive discussion of this case in the BalletAlert forums. The mods over there are also quite strict about assertions of fact being supported with publicly available infor...

Highland Guy said: "So "mortified and humiliated" that she has taken to social media to talk about it? So "mortified and humiliated" that she traveled cross-country to talk about it at a Forum?"Waterbury should be allowed to tell her story and express the pain she felt from what happened to her. Let's not make silence be the standard for who was and wasn't humiliated in this situation.

LuPita2 said: "In the articles I read in the New York Times, all the women refused to dance with him at NYCB, which is part of the reason he was fired. There were concerns when he came back, as well. And if you are referring to Sara, they broke up."From NYT (link):"The company said in a statement on Saturday that after hearing the concerns of dancers, staff members and others in the City Ballet community, it had decided to fire Mr. Ramasar and Mr. Catazaro. (The statement also said the compan...

ModernMillie3 said: "The major reason they fired him was because the women at the NYCB refused to partner with him and voiced their concerns. I can't imagine how the very young women in WWS now feel.Oh, and his gf broke up with him shortly before he moved to Rome. So, there's that."This is just factually inaccurate. There were women who voiced their concerns, but there were plenty of women at NYCB who also voiced their support including his most frequent partners in the company.His girlfriend...

SporkGoddess said: "My understanding of the facts is that the nude photos sent by Amar Ramasar were consentually taken by not consentually distributed."This is actually quite ambiguous. I re-read Ramasar's instagram post, and he never said that he sent the photos with his girlfriend's consent. Waterbury's amended complaint alleges that his girlfriend did not consent because Ramasar texted something along the lines of his girlfriend getting pissed (paragraph 97). The text itself is unclear if ...

LuPita2 said: "As WWS continues, people will research him and find out more. Also, the case goes to court in January, and that will get plenty of coverage. What a despicable person. The people on this thread defending him over and over again says so much about them, so bizarre."It is not bizzare to actually look into the facts when someone is accused with a serious crime or moral misconduct. I was initially on the anti-Amar train in the beginning when the news came out as well, but after read...

The reporting on this issue is a little confusing. For those who are unclear on what happened. This is the link to Waterbury's amended complaint (link). I will focus primarily on Ramasar's involvement.You will find the parts relevant to Ramasar in paragraphs 90-98. These are the facts according to Waterbury's complaint.When Finlay asked Ramasar for pictures, he sent topless photos of his girlfriend (link to Ramasar's claim that she consented). Finlay asked for more, and Ramasar sent more nude...

Many of NYCB’s dancers still seem to support him, including his girlfriend. Some of his frequent partners have also shown support on instagram. I honestly have no idea what to make of this. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable as an audience member seeing him partnering a woman on stage, especially since dancers have little choice when it comes to casting at a ballet company.

Waterbury’s lawsuit has Ramasar pinned down for two things: sending photos of an NYCB dancer to Finlay and receiving photos of Waterbury. The lawsuit states that Finlay has acknowledged to Ramasar that the photos of Waterbury were taken and sent without her consent. However, if I were to defend Ramasar, the best I can say is that the “acknowledgment” is vague enough to give him some degree of deniability. The lawsuit says that Finlay’s acknowledgment was something along the lines of Waterbury...

I'm curious if he's fighting it because he's the recipient of the non-consensual photographs and not the sender? The lawsuit says he sent photos back of a different NYCB dancer. Maybe that dancer knew and gave consent to send the pics to Finlay (the guy being sued). Otherwise, I can't fathom why AGMA would defend someone who violated one of their members.

Lauren Worsham for Eliza.

I'm really looking forward to this! I've never seen a production of Fiddler before.

Brick said: "And so Lin's choice to empower Eliza with the decision not allow her reaction to be known strikes me as indeed quite clever, as well as making the women of the piece more active than they're often credited to be in history, while noting perhaps that's also by choice here. Amen. I loved that whole song, but the bit about the historians was the only thing that stood out to me. " "

** MY QUIBBLES **In "Burn", the lyric "Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted..." took me out of the moment a bit. It seems out of place. It feels like Lin is taking a big arrow and pointing at the song saying "This part is fictional".In "It's Quiet Uptown", after Eliza takes Hamilton's hand, the ensemble goes "... Forgiveness". My immediate thought was "Why are they singing the subtext?"** END QUIBBLES **Other than those two, I loved the score. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. The wa...

I hope Chris Wheeldon's choreography of American in Paris becomes famous many years from now.

Does Lin-Manuel Miranda count? He can sing, but it's not his strongest suit.

I would also love to see Annaleigh Ashford do this role. She would get the comedy down. She's not Jewish, but I think she does have a unique look.

The Tonys pass the Bechdel test.

Anna Kendrick will probably be Eliza. She's probably gonna belt that last note of "I Could Have Danced All Night", too.
