Chenoweth no Tony for Wicked because she was Christian? — Page 6

I am sure in all these pages this has been addressed already, but I ain't looking for a needle in a haystack here, but this is two different things she is making into one long statement. She is saying she decided not to extend because of the issues she was experiencing apparently because of her religion. The producers said thst would not promote her for the tony if she left. NOT because of her religion but her choice to leave the show. If she chose to leave for any reason at all, they were not going to promote her because they would want a tony winner that would stay to boost them for awhile. Not someone that would win and be gone a month later. Her reason for leaving and their reason for not promoting her as they did Idina, who had extended, are not the same.

This is absolutely one of the stupidest topics I have ever seen on this board, no exceptions. KC lost in a year in which there was incredible competition. Other topics have questioned why Tonya Pinkins didn't win? whether Donna Murphy would have won if she had not missed so many performances ( since she may have gotten the best critical reviews in the category.

For my money, Idina Menzel had the lead role in the show, and did a great job with it (and I am not particularly a Menzel fan). Does that mean that she won because she is Jewish? or because more people were taken by her performance than any of the other women in the category?

Ah yes, Tony Winner La Chance.

Oh, dear god, people. What other ridiculous threads can we bring back from the grave.

I've noticed a certain increased amount of religious trolling on the board lately, both from the atheist/misotheist movement Qolbinau most strongly represents, and from some probably-fraudulent Christian concern trolls.

Maybe it's just the internet being the internet, but with the things in the news these days, I'm inclined to see a pattern even when there isn't a pattern there.

Yeah I still don't understand what the hell people think when they say Chenoweth is stating that- she is clearly not. Another example of how people can completely misconstrue a person's words and even the actual point/discussion being raised.
