MEAN GIRLS To Welcome Social Media Star Cameron Dallas For Four Week Run — Page 4

SouthernCakes said: "For what it’s worth, and for those who care, they changed the marquee a little. The top part just says “mean girls” without the image of the girls. I think that’s new right?"

They also changed some of the signage outside the theatre. There’s a big poster advertising Cameron being in the show for four weeks and even lists his social media handles.

Girl give it a REST. Phew. Ijust saw him and he was absolutely awful. An embarrassment to the show and the broadway community. Smh"

You saw him. You have your opinion. I saw him his first night, and I didn’t think he was awful. No one is wrong here. You gave him a chance. I have nothing else to say to you.

Waiting to see a performance before judging the performer is reasonable. Purchasing a ticket to a Broadway musical and expecting cast members to have the ability and training to give a credible performance is also reasonable. If this guy isn't unforgivably horrendous, it still doesn't mean he has the background or ability to be anywhere near a Broadway stage. Stunt casting is one thing, but he hasn't proven himself in anything involving ability. Given the thousands of talented and trained actors who are currently unemployed, this is a mockery and an utterly cynical move within the great "Broadway community" we hear about every year at Tony time.

Totally agree. It's gross.

I'm very curious to see tomorrow if he actually makes a dent in the grosses."

There were also reports of he himself reposting fans bootleg video clips of his performance on his IG story which were then subsequently deleted for obvious reasons. Anyone see these clips?

I think we actually won’t have the box office report until Tuesday this week since today is MLK Day.

And if he was re-posting bootleg videos, it’s hard to complain about the unfairness of others taking videos then posting them.

You don't have to think he's the best casting choice Mean Girls has made. But it is truly not okay to tell people who feel differently,. who are actually trying to be supportive, that they're wrong. We can both have opinions. Telling someone that their opinion is invalid is absolutely not okay. And please do not call me a hypocrite because I was asking people to give him a chance. Someone else could have been cast. That's true. But he was. For a few weeks. This does not give you permission to mock him, to laugh at his performance. Just because someone tries to see the good, doesn't mean they're invalid. So it's enough. Let the people who are trying to see the good exist without attacking them.

Anyway, let’s get back to topic at hand because I think this whole topic is interesting.

I’m surprised his acting is so.....monotone. He did a movie a few years ago called Expelled and even though it was a discount Ferirs Bueller’s Day Off, it was actually n okay movie and I think his acting was passable there. I have no idea what happened with this show, it was really kind of a shock

Am I not seeing something? No one told you off for enjoying his performance.
