Erivo: "Not talking about Great Comet anymore."

Hallelujah.

I really hope Cynthia will eventually learn how inappropriate her tweets are. Very disturbing to see her tweet like a child.

Last time I saw Josh this past week or so, he was singing Trump's Tweets on Jimmy Kimmel...  

I'm not sure if that's symbolic of being "kicked to the curb" or if it's a relief to be away from the GC nonsense!!!   But he still had the beard, tho nicely trimmed.....sorry Ladies who wanted him to go back to beardless!

Blockhead said, "JayElle said: "Cynthia blocked me weeks ago Jorge....I considered it an honor for telling her where to shove it."  Blockhead said, "She blocked me last night too for calling her out on her Hawaii tweet."

Consider it a badge of honor Blockhead....!

You never should have talked except to say it had an amazing cast that was also diverse and proved that people of all colors are beautiful

I'm blocked from the CE tweet that you showed.  I won't sleep over it, and it's not worth my time to use another medium.  So if you wish to briefly state what worthless comments she made, I'm willing to listen. Thanks tja928.

Wow, it took less than an hour for Cynthia to go from "not talking" about Comet anymore to proudly announcing she's blocked people who challenged her about the whole ordeal: 1 and 2.

BwayConcierge said, "Somebody took the time to write an open, honest, thoughtful note and took the courageous step to send it straight to Ms. Erivo, and she flips it around and calls her a "child with no knowledge of anything."

Have no idea what that is, but I can offer two comments.  

1)CE is oblivious to American theater:   it takes $. Money talks; all else walks.  Oak didn't pull the draw, so the hedge-fund producer looked to the carriage that could pull its weight. The only color that mattered was green, not black or white. Did they handle it professionally?  No, but it wasn't a black/white fight.

2) As for CE calling her a "child w/no knowledge....," I haven't seen the tweets since I'm in block world, but as far as CE is concerned, I think of my father who once said: "when you argue with a fool, you have 2 fools arguing."  Ergo, I don't argue with CE b/c I'm not a fool.

Since she's blocked me, could you copy/paste the tweets?

Just saw another one of her tweets regarding the note and it's really laughable. She pretty much just said that the person who wrote it isn't a massive fan because they told her she was wrong. I hope she looks back on these tweets and realized how wrong she is for even talking about something she was not even remotely related to.

As I mentioned earlier, let me share my father's advice: "When you argue with a fool, you have 2 fools arguing."  He told me that 35 years ago.  Still stands.  Why be her counter fool?

This. Her twitter base will just keep saying she's right no matter what happens.

For anyone that's been blocked, you just need to log out and then access her twitter. If you really think it's worth the time, which it isn't. Because it's not like she will ever apologize.

Tweet 1 from my earlier post: "No worries he's blocked like I promised"

[In response to one of her followers who used the following jeer against someone who challenged Cynthia: "Please little white boy, continue to tell us what we are allowed to talk about and have opinions on."]

Tweet 2 from my earlier post: "He's bitter and blocked xx"

[In response to another one of her followers who called the same Cynthia challenger "bitter."]

I cannot believe a Tony Award winner is engaging with and encouraging this kind of behavior.

Why are we talking about CE instead of TGC?  She's a racist.  If she can't play the racist card, she wouldn't get anywhere.  Fact.

Lin is a great example of a theatre person that's become famous (which by the way Cynthia has not as of yet) and hasn't let it get to his head. He is surely proud of his work and confident in his abilities but he doesn't have his awards splashed all over his Twitter bio, he interacts with fans (without arguing with them), he has the same group of friends as he had pre-Hamilton and he doesn't act like he's always right. Nor does he get involved in things that clearly aren't his business. Cynthia thinks she's something really special. The fact that she even boasts about that Emmy award which she got for basically doing nothing is ridiculous.

^^^All of this.

Lin is a wildly talented, unbelievably accomplished, humble sweetie who sends his fans new "good night" and "good morning" wishes every day.

Cynthia, too, is wildly talented and unbelievably accomplished, but not humble, and someone by whom you have a solid chance of getting reamed out or blocked.

Also apparently the NYT did a 360 camera set up for a song. I think it's for Prologue. So that should be cool

Cynthia is a racist. She couldn't be what she is unless she played the race card. Yes, she has a nice voice. So do a lot of POC singers. Audra MacDonald has class; Cynthia does not.

So why give her anymore print. She's like Trump. She says stupid sh** b/c it gets people mad and gives her negative advertising. She doesn't care.  Look at how much ink has been typed about her.

She's essentially a two-bit racist who has to use her color to get ahead much like actresses screwed producers decades ago.  Only this time, she's screwing us and everyone around her. She's not worth it. 

Talk about the cast. They're worth it; she is not.

And you can quote me...to her twitter account if you wish. I'm blocked, thankfully.
