I don't want this to turn into another WSS bashing session.. But has there been any public statement yet on why Cody left? I am just wondering because it seems like he disappeared and I loved him in this show! Is he going to be in anything soon?

You couldn't put this in the other thread?

If there was official word, you would probably see an article. Right now, it is all just rumor and speculation.

I love when new people join to start trouble.

Dearest Timothy, in the future, if you have nothing of value to add to this site, please do us all a favor and don't post.

Kisses.

Todos sabemos quien es el boludo llamado Cody Green. El es el mierdita que gano ese concurso en el canal Bravo y era el mas odiado del revivo de WEST SIDE STORY.

Dearest Kalimba,

Timothy asked a legitimate question. He wasn't looking for rumor or idle speculation, he asked for the OFFICIAL reason. These boards are just here for kissing the butts of the favorite show you like. Just because you may worship WSS, it doesn't mean that it is not allowed to mention some of the more unsavory aspects of the business. You telling somebody that you don't like their question isn't valuable either. Get off your high horse and let people say what they want. People don't need you to censor them.

They don't put out a press release announcing someone was fired.

The fact that in the press release that was released, they never mentioned an injury or any other reason for departure says all you need to know about why he left.

Dear NotScott-

Clearly you ara dumb ass who never actually reads these boards.

Usually when people no one knows posts to chastise, it's because we're too mean. It's unusual to see a post chastising people for being too supportive. Of course, the poster doesn't have any idea what he's talking about anyway. Updated On: 8/7/09 at 05:38 PM

And there is no official reason. If there was an official reason, there would have been a statement about it. Since there wasn't, the rumor is that he was fired.

This was already discussed in another thread. Kalimba's answer wasn't prompted by worship of West Side Story or kissing the butt of a show.

"Get off your high horse and let people say what they want."

I think the same goes for you, NotScott. Obviously you are not familiar with these boards.

I love how polite everyone is being with their "Dearest Kalimba" and their "Dear NotScott"...how sweet, hee hee heeee!

Timothy asks his question. He gets a non-rude response. He doesn't press on it. Then Kalimba comes along with her "You have nothing of value to add" comment which is snotty arrogance. So now Millie and Phyllis join in with the "You don't read these boards" nonsense. Frequenting a theatre message board for 5 years doesn't give you the right to be a ****for no reason. You live pretty sad lives if you get your kicks claiming dominance over a Broadway message board. You don't have any more right than somebody who joined up yesterday so grow up.

And I do read the boards. It's the same old story. People rave over Wicked, swoon over Gavin Creel, and jump all over people who dare say anything negative about their favorite performance, even if they do happen to be a jerk at the stage door (yeah yeah, everybody has a bad day, yada yada yada). But when you jump over people with your "holier than thou" attitude it is just pathetic. You drive away people who may want to join in the discussion because they might be new or they didn't ask the right questions. You think you are special because you are in to the arts and you "get it", but some of you are just judgmental losers who want to feel better about themselves by kicking somebody else. Go ahead and enjoy the only world where you can be a "star", back here in the real world people have deserve respect.

"People rave over Wicked" ?

It's obvious Arthur was pissed he didn't swallow. He thought it was rude (which, c'mon it is) so he needed to be replaced with someone more willing to do what was needed.

Well, I certainly hope it makes you feel better too. You're doing the same thing.

People shouldn't be able to get away with treating other people like crap, especially because they feel they have some make believe seniority.
