I disagree because of this "statement" that you made, huskcharmer:
"Considering she's said it's her least favorite role to have played" She never said that. You assumed that. You're stating facts not in evidence, and that's why your "statement" is coming under fire - because it isn't a fact - it's a supposition. An opinion. Yours, which you stated as hers. BIG difference between the two.
"And yes, it is a difficult show to do, but more often than not, I heard about her being out, or leaving mid-way through the performance (this happened several times towards the end as well)". Okay, now I know you don't know what you're talking about. That
didn't happen several times towards the end. It didn't happen AT ALL towards the end. In fact, it didn't happen more than three times during the entire run of the show, and probably not that many times. That is a fact. Others did, Jessica Goldyn, Heather Parcells, and Mara Davi, but not Charlotte, and definitely not towards the end.
"And, I would cut slack, but until hard evidence (i.e. She or a Producer) states that the reason behind the six shows a week was so she could spend time with her kids, I'm going to assume it was because she couldn't handle it". You can assume any damn thing you want, as you really are good at jumping to conclusions, but maybe, just maybe, they don't think it's any of your business. Common sense would tell you that anyone looking for a break takes off matinees or evenings of two-show days. They don't do two shows back-to-back. Honestly, now you're just being absurd.
"However, I just don't believe that reason. That would almost be a perfect press release to put that she was taking two shows a week off so she could be with family. It sells the "She's dedicated to her craft and family!" And while that could be the reason, I don't believe it". That was never used as a reason publicly, so that shoots down your theory that it was a public relations ruse.
"She was out more nights than she was there". To put this as simply as possible, this is absolutely not true. It isn't even close to true. You need to check your facts before spouting off things like that.
"I'm just saying that I don't buy the "reason" behind the alternate, nor do I feel like she enjoyed the role. You are more than welcome to disagree with me, it doesn't invalidate either of us". Of course not. You can say anything you want - just don't make up Charlotte quotes, and stop saying things that aren't true. You have misrepresented her and the facts. You can feel any way you want, but please stop miss-stating facts. You've "heard" things. Many of your "facts" are in error.
