Disgusting.

What did the perpetrator hope to achieve?

Not to mention sending theatre journalists and representation for the artists scrambling for an hour.

I can’t think of a more cruel Joke to play on theater fans, especially Sondheim fans.

I don't think Sweaty Oracle was involved because he usually makes friends only TikToks getting people to do stuff like this with him and there were none this time (yes I am mutuals with him on TikTok, no that does not mean I like or respect him). 

He also seemed genuinely excited about this and also made a video about how worried he was about it because so much of Sondheim's best work came from tinkering during tryouts and previews. It's just not his MO for when he is actually bamboozling. 

That being said, I am VERY curious to hear what he has to say and do want to know who it was.

It's clearly a fake account for the show. Not sure under Elon's dime if it'll matter, but everyone should be reporting that Twitter account.

Color me surprised it took this long for a fake Broadway announcement to show up on Twitter, since Space Scrotum took over.

 

Oh well, glad I never believed it in the first place.

I get we were excited, but did y’all really think this was an official announcement :-/

It’s one thing for this to end up being a hoax, but it’s another thing that there aren’t ANY future productions in the works, like, at all? That’s devastating. Nothing about this was funny and whoever did this is a POS.

I was actually and I am so furious that someone had the nerve to disrespect Sondheim like this.

"Why are people still listening to him?! He’s unreliable at best and a liar at worst." There's an absence of this kind of coverage and clearly there's an interest. Who else is there to listen to? Even for fun? I agree he's terribly unreliable and generally sort of gross... but gossip is fun and there's nobody else? 

"there aren’t ANY future productions in the works, like, at all? That’s devastating." Agreed, yea. I hope that's just a line they gave. It would be pretty upsetting to imagine nothing of any sort of is planned. Sigh.

100% read this from the Broadwayworld article and thought the editorial team perpetrated the hoax.

"The announcement has been confirmed to be a hoax by BroadwayWorld's editorial team."

Some of us are being a bit dramatic me thinks. Take a breath!

I say this as someone who hasn't always really liked his takes, but it's clearly meant to be a fun thing from a Broadway fan. It's a gossip page. Like Deux Moi. They are blind items. If you're looking for real news, go to Playbill. I don't think he ever said he's trying to be a legit news source.
