Lindsay Mendez in Merrily We Roll Along — Page 7

Have you entertained the possibility that the rampant entitlement from folks demanding transparency for what appears to be an agreement between Mendez and the producers for her to miss performances is indicative of the generally insufferable nature of many alleged theatre fans?

Have you also entertained the possibility that you are not “owed” anything when purchasing a ticket to Merrily We Roll Along but the show itself?"

Have you entertained the possibility that there's a reason, a legal reason in contracts law, that if someone is above title and they miss a performance the ticket purchase can ask for a refund? Have you entertained the possibility that before asserting "rampant entitlement" or "not [being] 'owed' anything" doing some basic legal research might help you make a colorable case?

^ It's ridiculous to say you're not owed some reasonable likelihood of an advertised, above-the-title star attending a show. Yes, things happen, but to have the u/s go on for 5/8 shows a week, and have that attendance ballpark not be a fluke, and to continue advertising that star without announcing anything about absences, is abjectly dishonest.

People travel from far and wide to see broadway shows, and so even if they do refund you, there's already a potentially massive amount of money and hassle you've put in. Even those who live around the corner have arranged their schedules around it.

I don't at all wish to castigate her for making whatever decisions she needs to lead a happy, healthy life. However, I do wish the producers were more forthcoming and transparent on whatever is happening as this seems to be a regular occurrence. If she's missing every matinee performance, then just put out that information and I'll know to buy an evening ticket. If she's only doing four shows a week, I truly don't at all care, but I would just like to be aware."

This. I have family coming to town in the spring and decided against paying the big bucks for tickets because they don't know if Lindsay will be in and would rather save the money than the heart ache
