I'm sure they'll put in their own money to cover the balance. People of Godspell, anyone?

This is actually extremely telling.

Sorry if I missed this somewhere, but has Michael Arden mentioned this anywhere?

TO THE MODERATORS: Why was my post about the thread being temporarily locked earlier this afternoon deleted? I was merely sharing a fact with the rest of the community. Please message me with an explanation. Thank you.

Actually, yes. Today even.

It would be nice if you, and your fellow moderators, stuck to your original promise (following the Patti Murin debacle) to be more transparent and provide a message to the posters who have posts removed.

Alan, I do have to say, after the censorship thread you have been more just, fair and diligent, so thank you. Back on topic, the amount per donater is much more reasonable today, 150 dollars per backer but for comparison, Q2Q Comics Volume 1, a Kickstarter for the book of the best theatre tech comic us humans know got an average of 33 dollars for backer. The two are focusing on different things and are not comparable, but u thought that would be a nice comparison.

They still would need to raise about $11.6k a day to "hit" the goal.
According to Kicktraq, funding tapered off enormously after the first couple of days, with only three days clearing the $10k point... and two of those days very recently, in very similar amounts.
To hit the $200k bar, they will need more- and larger- donations. Which I suspect they will get on Thurs/Fri/Sat.

Well.

My guess is that tweet will disappear soon.

I really enjoy that she followed that Tweet up with: "Time is ticking. Please share so Deaf West Theatre's Spring Awakening Tony Performance can happen!"

She's performing, but give the campaign money so she can perform!

Well indeed. If anybody doubted this was a scam they should be aware of it now.

^ she's presenting
Posted: 6/6/16 at 4:58pm
Why would she say "presenter and performer"?
Posted: 6/6/16 at 5:08pm
"Mama Who Bore Me," I guess, will be part of their performance.

"
The Tony Awards site page her tweet leads to is titled "Presenters & Performers." So "Look who's one of the presenters and performers..." when she is a listed presenter on that page is factual. I read it as some kind of link copy/paste wording.
eta: yeah, if you click on the twitter share icon on that page "presenters and performers" is the default wording.

Posted: 6/8/16 at 11:16am
I think we can expect some pretty serious backpedaling now, unless he decides to continue his stony silence.
Posted: 6/8/16 at 11:18am
I hope they address this very serious issue.
