The comments that this thread refers to may have something to do with a really stupid debacle going on over at Dress Circle in which an usher and an ice cream vendor who had the privilege of being joined by Lane at party took his joking comments out of context and created a real broo ha ha which, I would think might get them fired from another venue.
The comments were said in private as a joke...you know...'he's got a great voice...really nice guy...but not as funny as me' and were used to make someone feel important and superior. Needless to say the Dress Circle members have dressed these two kids down and told them that their behavior was unprofessional and that they should be professional enough to keep comments said in private IN private and not take them out into the street and out of context where they can hurt someone's relationship.
I think the flap is over now and that the original situation you were referring to about Lane's comments about Brad was also a joke that was taken out of context. Lane and Oscar get along just fine and in fact I believe Lane recommended Oscar when they wanted to push for a bigger name on Broadway and when they were looking to replace Lane over in London.
