Is it time for a mass exodus from Broadway World? May 10

Dave, the thing is that I don't think anyone disagrees with the idea that true equality in the casting world is what we should strive towards. But the simple fact is that theatre is not at a point where we can just blindly assert that POC have it as easy getting roles as white actors do. There are many situations where a casting director can just slyly insist that their entire cast of white folks just so happened to be the best actors for the job when in reality, white actors ended up being the

"Discussion wise, I think for example, that it is you who actually attacks POC by demanding that they forever should be treated differently based on their color, a harmful process that another poster on this board very well explained. Which is insulting and belittling, not everyone respects being pushed into the victim role. Which prevents equality. Should we take that as personal attacks too? No, because there is a difference between standpoint and behaviour in a discussion. If you can't tell t

Dave, to be frank, you just said further up there that someone had no business being on any forum because they said something you disagreed with, which is essentially the same thing.

Maybe one idea that would be good is if the mods must edit or take down a post entirely, they could shoot the offending member a PM to explain what about the message was wrong. It might help clear things up a bit in regards to whether the spirit behind the entire post was an attack, or if it was a specific comment within the post itself that was out of line. Saying vaguely that a post was seen as an “attack” without an explanation as to how or why isn’t always a good way to let people know how w

I don’t think so. The thing I appreciate about this board at least is that the moderators are willing to explain why posts are getting edited/taken down, and engage in discussion with members over how and why these rules are implemented, which I can’t really say for plenty of websites. There are tons of forums where mods just go power hungry by censoring/shutting threads down without explanation or a willing ear to hear the members’ point of view. I think a healthy discussion is a good asset, ev
I don't understand. Why not just take a photo with everyone together on the pier? Why was this something that needed to be photoshopped in the first place?
It seems that comments about hoping her parents get involved are being taken down. What is wrong about those compared to the other comments here?

Yeah, I'm going to guess it was taken down because of all the links to her social media pages. Anyways, I hope something is done soon to improve that situation.

I keep forgetting Lea Michele even exists until people bring her up once in a blue moon.

MrPeach, it's best to ignore the snark. People here like to be bitter for no reason because the anonymity of an Internet setting makes them feel bold.

It's not part of this season. Why bother imagining how it would have done had it opened this season instead?

This kind of what-if complaining is always confusing to me. If you think your show needed to open in a "weaker" season to have a shot at winning, then maybe it was never the best in the first place.
Rant about the 2018 TONY nominations here May 1

I minored in German, and I feel the exact same way. ^ It’s even weirder that people don’t have issues pronouncing the vowels in Einstein’s name correctly, but every other name just goes right out the window.

I’m not sure how having mixed reviews is supposed to make a musical undeserving of nominations. It’s not like musicals with mixed reviews (Phantom, Les Mis, etc.) haven’t proven to be successful in the past.

I hear Gardar has been getting sick a LOT during this tour. I’m really starting to wonder if there’s something more to it, but that’s not our business.

So thrilled to hear this about Jackie Burns! I remember seeing her when she first joined the tour and thinking she had a bright future with that kind of talent.
