Never in my life have I seen grown adults throw mini tantrums because two actresses who they despise in their roles aren't leaving a show they've been in for almost 2 years now! Like another poster said, it's a paycheck y'all! And it always will be. Instead of moaning and b*tching about why those two very talented actresses haven't left, can we instead talk about other things regarding Hamilton? Like its horrible PR team who doesn't give a head's up when someone is being replaced in the show? Honestly, so much time and so much thread space has been wasted by posters posting the same things about Mandy and Lexi; grow up, you castrated sycophants!"
I don't think anyone is blaming them for staying. Most of the comments above are about the producers and creative team, those who have a say in renewing contracts.
it's unfortunate because I really like Mandy and Lexi. They seem like wonderful people and are supremely talented. But these roles aren't the best fit for them. This is not a tantrum, it's an opinion. There's a difference.
