Jeremy Jordan is at peace with being fired from "Finding Neverland" — Page 2

Were they afraid Jeremy wouldn't do the art run if he knew he had NO chance of going with the production to Broadway? It just seems kind of foolish, because not even Matt can make the Lunt Fontanne a completely sold out house. I think they would've been fine with just Kelsey. Ugh. So many emotions.

Wish there was a recording of Jeremy singing the Frankel and Korie song. I tried to get a hold of sheet music for the Frankel and Korie score and my publishing friend said the producers or something own it. I want sheet music so desparately for the score. Was Jeremy involved with FN when they were using the Frankel and Korie score?

Nope. As Musto said, he just prefaced the song by saying he thought it would be "fun" to create a reunion for the "lost boys" of Neverland...meaning himself, Michael Korie and Scott Frankel, "lost" because they had been fired.

"It was one of the most deliciously bitchy thing I've ever seen a straight man do. (So there, Harvey Weinstein!)"

Would have been interesting to see what he would have said if he wasn't so at peace with it.

"McGrath was already contracted to On the Twentieth Century when he accepted the Finding Neverland job. He was a replacement for Roger Bart, who was fired in rehearsals.
Okay, Jordan used the word "fired," but he was never contracted for the Broadway run. How can you be fired from a job you didn't have?"

Perception is perception is perception. Jeremy did agree in SF when an audience said (re: FN) he had been "screwed " over. That "fired" FN song is gorgeous.

On a side note: despite the show getting mixed reviews at best, I don't see how being in FN is hurting Matt Morrison at all.

I was at one of Jeremys shows in SF and that part of the show, IMO, the way everything was phrased and the way he spoke when he talked about, it seemed very clear to me that they must have been leading him on and that he was left to believe there was actually a chance for him to continue on with the show. He seemed very honest about, it didn't seem like he was exaggerating for a sense of a good story or anything, it seemed truthful to me.

"why was Roger Bart fired?"

None of our business.

Everybody here knows all this insidery stuff about contracts and promises. Until it turns out to be wrong.

I was there on Friday night too and was struck by how beautiful the song was Jeremy performed from the discarded version of Finding Neverland. Which was I'm certain was the point he was trying to make. Really it seems things worked out best for Mr. Jordan as he escaped being a part of the polarizing Broadway production of Finding Neverland and can move on to CBS and Supergirl. Wishing him continued success!

I believe without a doubt that Jeremy would have been nominated if he had went to Broadway. The complete snubbing of FN was purely political and the controversy with Jordan only fueled that. Finding Neverland isn't a great show but it is nowhere near the worst thing to hit Broadway.

I agree. I certainly wouldn't consider it the best show I've ever seen. But I hardly walked out of the theater disappointed. In fact, I found it enjoyable. And I thought the performances were quite good, as was the staging. The music wasn't as memorable as those from many shows I've seen, but I agree that it wasn't as bad as it's being made out to be. I mean, I know people have their opinions, and what some people like doesn't always resonate with others. But there seems to be a level of disdain for this show that seems almost extreme. And I guest that's why I wonder where exactly it's coming from.
