I hate to sound like a broken record (no, I don't) but there are no rules and especially not when they are of the sub-ilk of "old sayings." Let's try to break this down:
Backstage gossip about has-been performers (especially fighting spouses): good
Backstage gossip about poor ticket salesand lots of empty seats for said has-been performer's show: bad.

Pose[r] you are always a pain on here and devoid of any sense of humour whatsoever.
Of course I will never meet ANY those men of my dreams you silly sausage, who will? and
I'm a Groff geek but it's fairly easy to disguise handsome with a brown colours, a cardigan, glasses, a change of hairstyle and the way he will act, mannerisms etc. He will look total nerd until he does the naked scene.

How fortunate--to live within walking distance of Broadway and have unlimited funds to attend shows whenever you want. No wonder you know so many show people---a dream life.
I just want Mr Groff to sit on the edge of the stage, feet dangling and give that cute little half smile as he sings--'Sweetlips I love you' ,just before he gets eaten by the plant, and I wake up.
I will start this by saying I really don't want this to be an 'us/them' situation but do these audience 'disturbances' happen mostly in America?
In all my years of theatre going in Australia, yes of course I have had to tell someone to shut up, the audiences are respectful of the performance-they sit, watch, applaud, and leave and it's very rare that anyone would stage door.
From what I read on here, and this is my only point of reference, the filming the
Some choose to join a union, others don't. There is actors equity in Australia but don't know if it is compulsory to be a member to perform so you could all be in the same show, member or not. Not enough population to have 2 scenarios.
Why would you choose to be non-equity and from what I gather here--2nd rate, or have I got it all wrong?
Not that I agree with some of the supposed rorts of trade unions etc but an equity
One is a performer, one is his manager, and they are married, to each other.
A very strange arrangement where they are not equal partners. The distribution of wealth at divorce or death is a different matter but the reported situation is just weird, probably like the journal which I don't know anything about.
Get rid of Santino and find a singing comedian, black or white who has a foul mouth and offends all peoples and all religions; and make sure he is unattractive in drag.
I'm sure that is what they will do with Mrs Doubtfire, even though a Disney property but just with a potty mouth when not around the children.
Look at BOM---it offended everyone and everything and still packing them in--everywhere. Tootsie has gone so far the other way to not be offensive[not seen].
Reading the above verbal battles about the rights[pun] and wrongs it's a wonder that writers are game to write anything these days.
I'm sure Mr Groff can look nerdy with glasses and a cardigan but whatever his appearance he is so darn gorgeous that I could just keep kissing him till his lips fall off.
ADDED--Ben Platt-the perfect nerd. No pay just a percentage of the gate for the 2 weeks
