Self-loathing characters who have to bring everybody down with them. Who would be friends with someone like that and continue to tolerate that abuse?
Is there nudity in the original play? I just felt it wasn't necessary - what was the point?"
White people are currently doing horrific things nationwide in the US. Perhaps we need a complete moratorium of their privileged presence in the arts until we find out what's going on.
"Fans" can now weaponize themselves with social media, just in case their sense of entitlement by buying a ticket for a show is not sufficiently honored by the poor hapless performers graciously signing autographs for them. btw, when someone brings up their mother, eyes tend to glaze over because they've heard it a thousand times.
This is an issue for all minority groups, not just the gays, but in general, Broadway crowds from the flyover states don't mind seeing an occasional LGBT representation as long as its non-threatening, stereotypical or unattractive in some way -- just like on TV a la Familia Moderna, etc.
