Again, all those appearances being arranged by the production. You know this, but you continue to act obtuse to throw jabs."

All the other Tony nominated shows, actors and actresses are doing the same amount of press as Hilty and Simard are but nobody is calling out as much as they are. That's the difference.

Okay, but it doesn't mean that there's not harm being done and dont necessarily think that ALL parties are not intending to do harm. Some are being knowingly and unabashedly inflammatory.

Oh, please. When the two above the title, Tony-nominated stars of one of the year’s most talked about show stop showing up for work (for any reason), people will talk. The fact that the situation re: the covers is still such a mess makes me wonder if someone is playing hardball about “allowing” anyone to drop to less than 8 shows a week.

Neither actress nor anyone’s name is “above the title.”

Lie. That's been established twice in this thread that their names are above the title. By Jennifer herself, actually. Don't talk about sh*t you know nothing about. Care to admit you're wrong for the first time in history or....? 

How does it feel to be headlining a huge hit Broadway musical?

It’s a thrill! This is my first time above the title, and it’s a responsibility I take seriously"

Just Wanna share that I’m from Brazil and usually take one week per year to see things on Broadway and this year I could only fit this show on this Saturday/Sunday and now I’m feeling really lucky that I went to the only show that Megan did out of all 4 after spend days trying to figured out the best day, those 3 hours for rush were worth it after all lol

Really liked the show, very old classic Broadway with really great moments here and there, not my favorite but lots of fun. The staircase scene was very theatric and I need a very gay musical on this trip lol

Megan and Simmard were outstanding, especially Hilty.

I usually hate "trash talking" actors for calling out constantly because we simply don't know the specifics and what's going on in these actor's personal lives, but it seems to be a serious issue at this show. If it has to do with overwhelming the performers with too many press events, the producers should chill the **** out.

Simard posted a couple Tiktoks/IG stories over the past couple days that make it seem like she is working hard and doing her best in this busy time, despite the intimations of some in this thread.

No one is intimidating anything. You’re just twisting things around. People want to see them in the show. It’s frustrating when they’re not there and the audience thinks they are gonna get them. They have missed a lot. Too much.

Three days a week are live shows, two they pre-tape two episodes. Holidays, vacations, personal days, etc all are usually filled with pretapes.

A friend works at LIVE WITH KELLY & MARK and they go live at 9am EST Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then tape a second show after the live broadcast (e.g., they do 6 shows a week). The second non-live shows run longer in production and are the ones used for musical sequences and special segments.

I think we know the same people and worked in the same field.  I also think we know each other.  Hope you had a nice weekend.
