If you are upset over twitter celebrations, considering that people lost their jobs, that is Maybeunderstandable - I feel for the ensemble members and actors who took what work they could get - but ultimately, trans folks celebrating that something that was genuinely causing them harm won’t be anymore isperfectly okay, and silencing their voices is gross.

I was very excited to get tickets to this show but sadly had to cancel my trip.
I wasn’t a fan then when the Cast recording came out but perhaps it’s one of those shows you have to see to get drawn in.
I really didn’t understand the transphobic criticisms but until I see the script I cannot comment.
My general comment is that current transgender ideology seems to be erasing anything beyond another binary pre and post transition. It’s transformative/heteronormative.
You have a lot of time on your hands. Like everything in Smash, as Valentina stated, it's not all that deep."
I’m supervising a thesis on representations of the casting couch, the student is using Smash as a basis for a chapter on theatre before the #MeTooMovement
She has some very interesting ideas. As researchers our job is to analyse over content.

I just thought it was anachronistic."
She wasn't playing "Bernadette Peters" on the show -- she was playing a famous Broadway star --- and GYPSY featured BP on the poster -- FOLLIES did not."
I know she wasn’t playing herself.
The billboard wasn’t the one of Peters it was the name Gypsy spelled o

I thought the same but wasn’t Follies the year previous?
Im rewatching Smash and in episode 9 I notice Ivy and Karen dancing on Times Square where there is a large billboard with the 2003 Artwork for the Bernadette Peters helmed Gypsy.
I was disappointed by some of the changes I had heard.
Now hearing the soundtrack I feel they’ve striped it of it’s heart and it’s just a thumping pop concert.
I was excited to hear the Shirley Bassey intro into Sparkling Diamond but to continue into Single Ladies and I can’t remember how many songs, the whole recording sounded like the Jospeh Mega-Mix on Crack.
The moments from the film I love

I live in European so attend the West End frequently and luckily have not encountered this behaviour. I have heard about it. There’s a book called A Good Night out for Girls by academic Elaine Aston which talks about this type of Hen or batchelortte night out theatre which I try avoid.
I will say that I personally noticed the change in the security of the West End after the Paris attacks especially the Bataclan.
I think there’s a high risk and concern over a terror attack I.
No, Tootsie is NOT closing next. Aug 8

I’m a queer academic, as I’ve said before, but you cannot win with one section of the transgender movement. As someone pointed out sometimes these kids aren’t even part of the LGBTQI+ community.
Transgender ideology has moved to the stage where they have become the gender binary police.
There is now cis and pre-cis. Many do not want to see themselves as a distinct group T or part of the LGBTQI+ community as a whole.
Pose FX completely erased drag queens from the Ball

I was in the middle of the row and would have made a bigger fuss by leaving. The patron next to me was clearly perturbed. At intermission I apologized to him and explained the situation. He seemed to be grateful for the apology. We’re all human."

It was Thanksgiving night. We were visiting from Europe and had seen a rake of show including King and I. There was nothing to see that night bar Chicago. We didn't
I don't understand the hate for this show you talk about.
As a queer theatre practitioner/academic I champion trans rights but this phenomena to rewrite history is misguided. I adore Pose but they wrote out Drag Queens yet Drag Queens were a huge part of Ball Culture, Pepper LaBeija was a Drag Queen. I'm all for representation of transgender people but not at the expense of others. Viewing the Ball Culture through a modern lens of transgender understanding is wrong.
