I'm confused. Is this tour equity or non-equity. The leads seem to have credits that are Broadway and other National Tours. But the schedule seems very truck and bus-like.
I'm actually having trouble now even getting tickets on the website. Not in terms of it being sold out but there's been an error all day saying the website is "broken". Anyone else having this problem?

It's not about that, honey. It's not about the possibility of him hurting the sound guys feeling. It's the sense of entitlement and inferiority that the tweet comes off as.

"If he had led with "because of an unexpected hot mike" instead of "Since our sound dept is nailing it" it definitely would have read as self-effacing. "
That's exactly the point of this. It is disrespectful and it is unprofessional. and hork: how many shows have you been in? the crew and the company in a long running show like Matilda without a doubt should know everyone's name.
It's not making a mountain out of 'mo hill. As Call_me_jorge said, this actor has young followers and whether he intended to or not, made an extremely unprofessional comment to his peers who work just as hard on this show.
