Scott Rudin takedown — Page 14

Jordan Catalano said: "How many actors/musicians/backstage/tech etc will “Music Man” employ for however long it runs? How many jobs are people suggesting be effectively taken away from those who’ve been out of work for over a year, for the sole reason Rudin is attached to this?
"

Exactly! Let the abuse continue!

Don't forget Rudin just unemployed everyone who worked for Beetlejuice so he could have "his" theater.

Two things:

The devil has enough advocates

The pandemic unemployed everyone so this argument is fruitless."

Can you unpack that statement? What are you trying to say? I am unable to decipher how "this argument [could be] fruitless." Your premise is a non-sequitur.

@poison My comment was directed at Henry and in particular his use of "fruitless." I understood your point completely. (Maybe you thought you were responding to him?)

actually, it was my oops. you didn't quote me lol

time for bed i guess

"Broadway producer Scott Rudin steps aside amid accusations of abusive behavior going back decades, apologizes for pain he caused"

Caught Sutton on Instagram live. She apologized for not speaking out and is glad Rudin stepped down. Said her and Hugh want the show to have the safest environment possible....

I call it now- High Jackman will walk away from this show and it will not happen.



more stories of the abusive behaviour are going to come out and there’s no way Jackman will want to have any association with Rudin. Even if he does his pretend ‘stepping back’, it’s still his production, and he’ll profit from that.



this whole thing is too toxic now and Jackman is too decent a person to stay on. He doesn’t need it.

This isn’t gonna go away!"


Where does she say this?

Jackman dropping out of the production now is basically denying employment to everyone involved with that production. He is THE reason why the show is happening. I think it would be far worse for the people involved if Jackman dropped out.

We will probably get to a point where Rudin refuses his stake in the production or directs it towards charities (and that is probably where Hugh comes into play as leverage); that doesn't stop some of his longtime enablers from profiting, but this is never going to be a perfect situation. And there are a lot of people with blood on their hands in this industry who don't even have an association with Rudin.

Wow, what a message.
