That said, I still enjoyed this production, and I give the creative team credit for trying to do something different."
To be fair, the actors were both live and on stage, you just couldn’t see the

Honestly if they wanted this to be good... it should have been realistic with gorgeous sets / settings. With the music played incredibly.... and the humans in makeup and leotards dancing the most amazing new choreography. Screw this cgi hybrid. It looks terrible.

Catching up on this thread, I want to reiterate that while I am not 100%familiar with Amar's case and not commenting on that case specifically, THIS, is indeed, victim blaming. This is getting very

Never known myself. I assume organizer can submit it to someone to review/see. Likely more a statement piece.

In less than a day they passed 500 signatures, and growing on this petition to have Ramasar removed from the show.
Hearing protests may be happening at the stage door.

Everyone’s all supportive of victims coming forward and “Me Too” when it doesn’t involve the industry they love/ are involved in. Suddenly everyone’s turning a blind eye.
Oi.

Can it not be inferred however; that Ramasar solicited photos, in a trade arrangement? Without himself knowing if those photos were shared in a safe and consensual manner?
He asked for photos; did he not? And accepted them gleefully? Irregardless if he sent Alexandra’s photos, he’s an accessory to the event and has some accountability to be had. Even if our laws haven’t caught up with technology and how easy we share information, the general public has a right to be alarmed that two ad

Here’s the thing. People just don’t like men getting away with gross crap. Illegal or not. Male privilege is real. We often seem immune.
Add in how WSS is just deleting comments on their IG, and blocking people. Their twitter post from first preview day; which they can’t delete comments on, has 70 or so comments with a link to the NYpost article.
People are angry, and it does WSS no service to pretend it doesn’t exist, it will just fuel the fire. As we learned with the Kevin H
WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread Dec 10

Anything related to this revival deserves to have it brought up. If you are going to hire and cast someone like that, it will not be swept under the rug or hidden. We will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread Dec 10
2019, 08:25:05 PM
First preview is today. So here’s a New York Post article from today, with words from the Ballet dancer at the forefront of what Amar and his colleagues did to women in their company.
Two of the most important characters are female in this piece. So cutting out anything that showcases women is unforgivable IMO. This is a Romeo and Juliet Story. A story about toxic segregation of groups, and toxic men. Does the impact get lost with cutting so much of the involvement of women in the piece?

I knew the day was coming soon. I’ve awaited the moment Come From Away jumped ahead of Dear Evan Hansen.

I disagree actually, and I think it already has if social media is any indication."
There is such a small percentage of ticket buyers out there outside of the theatre community who even know about this scandal. Has thisimpacted SOME ticket sales?I'm sure it has. However, ha

Really loving the design for tour. The same but slightly different.
A Director said: "Wonder if there will ever be a video ad featuring the women in the cast? With all of Ivo's changes, in this production, Tony will kill Maria and go off with one of the Sharks boys at the end."
he’s clearly obsessed with the male perspective. <<edited by BWW staff>>
