Riedel on more Comet Drama

Whoa. That "Poison Oak" tweet is...much.

I actually gasped when I opened the Poison Oak tweet...

Wow.

It's a shame that the only real information we're getting about this situation is from Riedel, because I have no idea whether to trust it or not.

But now we have Joey, who is on the record here confirming the entire article. And may I just say, the "Poison Oak" tweet is one of the shadiest things I have seen in YEARS.

Can't be true, all these people told me on here it was childish to blame Oak /s

Jesus. It's a shame that being one of the least buzzed about principals in the original Hamilton cast made someone become such a diva.

I see Cynthia's been on a twitter storm defending her actions (sips tea). What "facts" do you have, Cynthia?

WTF?? I was already turned against Oak from his lack of statements, but if this is true he owes the entire cast an apology. There's no excuse for not being prepared after being announced FOUR MONTHS in advance, let alone his actions with Patinkin.

I don't think it's going to affect Oak or Rafael as much as I might like. There's going to be tons of people who are going to say that they did a great thing and pump them up. He might not get broadway jobs but he's not blacklisted. RC is ok bc he's hot and that takes you far. You can't even talk negative about Erivo bc her twitter followers are a mini beyhive. I saw a few negative tweets to her and her fans POUNCED!

Oh, I think people on Bway have a long memory, especially if none of the people you just mentioned only have rabid fan bases instead of significant ticket-selling capabilities

He'd rather tweet bs praise to each person than actually save their jobs

I understand how throwing the show's financial info out there wasn't the best move, but I hope it doesn't reflect on him negatively for any extended period od time. I need more of his shows being produced asap, and it'd be a shame if that one, well-meaning tweet keeps him from gaining backers in the future. "



And yet people on here said that they should have been up front about their financial situation in the original Mandy announcement...yeah, that is not a smart move. That being said, I hate the thought of the investors being upset with Malloy, and I agree, I hope more of his work gets produced. especially his adaptation of Moby Dick that he is working on. Can't wait for that.
