Yes, I believe the op reading some of these kind of messages wrong and that’s probably due to social media being hard to gauge the tone of the words used. It’s not hard to use context clues though and assume people are not demanding these kind of actions, but rather hoping/wishing they do."
You're right. I think I have for most of them, but there are some people vehemently demanding alternates get their own tracks on things like cast recordings, their own playbills-be realistic. How often could that happen? Especially if it's a short stint, it's not realistic"
Aren't you just attacking certain Funny Girl fans? I can't think of another show where there are even suggestions about this (replacement stars in ALW shows aren't alternates, and I don't think anyone "demanded" them--it's was just part of keeping the franchise going to release as many alternative recordings as the market would bear).
For God's sake, Benko literally saved that show. Without her, it would have closed before Lea Michele could take over. That makes her directly responsible not just for the show's success but giving Michele a chance to save her career. For people to say, in this incredibly unique circumstance, "They should have given her a track" is just to say "Considering her contributions, couldn't they have been a bit generous? We know it's not a thing that is done, but isn't this case unique?"
If feel like this thread was just created to bash people who aren't satisfied with Michele.
Edited: I want to add that the reason people are "demanding" more pro shots is because, recently, there have been a lot more pro shots. So they figure "These other shows got one, could we get one for this show I like?" Maybe that show isn't the financial juggernaut that would make a pro shot practical, but that just means a lot of fans aren't as keyed into the business aspects of a Broadway as some of their more immersed counterparts.
