MOULIN ROUGE! Broadway Casting Thread — Page 21

Her curtain call looks fun!

That feels like a pretty extreme reaction to a simple question. I wasn’t trying to be offensive or “psychotic,” just curious about something specific. People ask niche or historical questions about Broadway all the time, and this one comes from a place of recognizing recovery and resilience after a serious injury. If anything, it highlights how far medical care and performers’ ability to return to demanding work have come. Not every question needs to be taken in the worst possible way.

 

That’s fair, the wording could’ve been clearer. But also, expecting a fully contextualized and perfectly tactful question on a BroadwayWorld message board is kind of beyond the scope of what this space is. We’re not writing research papers or publishing medical analyses, it was just a quick, off-the-cuff question out of curiosity.

The intent wasn’t to be insensitive, just to ask something specific and see if anyone knew the answer or had insight. Not every post is going to come with a full explanation attached, especially in a casual forum like this.

WAP, Body and Savage are 3. If you’re going to be snarky at least count first.

I’m not someone who’s flippant about gun-related issues or what victims go through.

This was a quick curiosity post, not a statement minimizing anything. You can think the phrasing was off, that’s fair, but jumping straight to assuming I’m being insensitive doesn’t line up with how I usually engage on here.

Team America: World Police, which is literally a satire that takes aim at the post-9/11 mindset and American interventionism. The whole point of that movie is to be over-the-top and uncomfortable to expose how absurd a lot of that rhetoric was.

Using that as a profile picture isn’t an endorsement of anything offensive, it’s referencing a piece of comedy that critiques the very systems and attitudes you’re implying I support. If anything, it signals the opposite. It’s one of the more biting satirical films of the 21st century, not some random choice meant to excuse bad opinions.

I mean, writing it off as something you “grow out of at 12” kind of ignores what Team America: World Police is actually doing. It’s not just crude for the sake of it, it’s deliberately over-the-top to satirize American foreign policy and the post-9/11 culture around it. You don’t have to like that style of comedy, but there’s a reason Matt Stone and Trey Parker are still relevant. 

As for the profile picture, it’s a reference to that satire, not an endorsement of anything offensive. And connecting that to a simple question I asked about Megan Thee Stallion doesn’t really track. One is about a piece of media I find interesting, the other was just curiosity about recovery and performance. You can disagree with the taste or the phrasing, but jumping to assumptions about my character based on that feels like a stretch.

Tonight’s show was stopped mid way and Megan was taken to the hospital. Not sure what happened.

I do hope that she’s alright.

As always, shoutout to the swings and understudies who are prepared to keep the show going at a moment’s notice.

Talk about a tasteful response to an actor having a medical emergency mid-show.

I’m sure she was treated with great kindness by the theater staff and medical professionals who responded.

Timing is not your forte here. Wow.

My nieces are in town to see the show this week. I know Megan's covers will be amazing, but I'd hate to think she's too ill to continue on.

I see Quiz took some time off of Cats and selling his “friends” signatures to shine light to this thread
