I've been watching Housewives all day, so I'm in the mood for some good ole Broadway goss.
Rumor has it that Shoshana and Cynthia had a falling out of sorts - both have unfollowed each other on social media, and a few people on Reddit have taken note of Shoshana's complete silence in the midst of Wicked-mania. I saw them both at Shoshana's holiday concert in 2019, and of course haven't been following their socials that closely to know when the 'unfollowing' occurred, but seeing as how Shoshana rose to fame as the second Elphaba (which she's spoken about having a complicated relationship with) and her complete lack of anything Wicked related does seem a bit suspect.
Interested in knowing what the internet sleuths know.

Who gives a crap what Shoshana Bean thinks about the movie or its star?

Reliable sources say...that Cynthia Erivo and Shoshana Bean were spotted getting into a brief but vicious hair-pulling brawl at Henrietta Hudsons bar in trendy West Village, New York City.
Back to you, Maury...

Oh damn, and that’s why Cynthia is bald now. That’s crazy.

Shoshana probably thought she'd replace Erivo in The Color Purple... hence the fall out.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Presumably the person who said they were interested in the post directly preceding yours?

So this is how pissed they must have felt when the creatives decided they couldn't continue with LEMPICKA after both of them read for Tamara! ;)
Well, I’ll be. That bird really did it.

I’ve been wondering the same. Cynthia was always a little more low-key, but Shoshana used to tell anyone who’d listen about her girl Cynthia, their performances at the Apollo, their “When You Believe” duet, etc. Now silence. She seemed to still follow/be in touch with Lena Waithe (Cynthia’s partner) for a bit, but they don’t follow each other anymore either. I wonder if it was typical jealousy when one’s star began to rise quicker or if there was a genuine issue or moment that set things off. Sad because they did make beautiful music together.

Did they really have that much of a working relationship? I really can’t recall, besides them singing When You Believe together.

They also did a holiday show together at the Apollo for a few years in a row and recorded this Taylor Swift cover. Videos from the Apollo are also on YouTube.

Maybe Cynthia will go to Shoshana's final show in HK tomorrow and all will be right with the world.

These same queens who want to act self righteous about this post are still fully obsessed with the Joan Crawford/Bette Davis feud. It's okay, ladies. We know the snippiness comes from a place of insecurity.

Truly not a day goes by here in which we aren't besieged by hundreds of posts arguing back and forth about whether Crawford actually wore weights to strain Davis' back when Jane drags Blanche across the room.

This is how it all started, Shoshana suggested that she'd like to sing the Whitney part and Cynthia felt utterly devastated and erased. They never spoke again.

OK i know this is all a little on the catty side, but I was also scrolling on youtube and found a fun clip of Shoshana and Megan Hilty and realized I hadn't seen them interact/sing together in many years. They seemed so fun together, and then realized they don't follow each other on insta. I would love a reunion of some sort with those two.

I wonder if Shoshana opted to unfollow when Cynthia started having...opinions...about Broadway and other stuff.

I guess, for me, it's less about speculating what happened, but more just sad that whatever happened or didn't happened, it means we probably won't get any new collaborations, which is a shame, because they sound so great together.
