Seems like this is a love it or hate it film. Boston Globe trashed it to pieces. Everything but the two lesbian actresses that is.

"Forget the whole case-by-case thing: No more straight actors playing gay men until the sins of The Prom are properly atoned for. Murphy, a gay man, has led some straight actors into fertile gay territory before, like Darren Criss in The Assassination of Gianni Versace. But Corden, flitting and lisping around in the

If Ryan Murphy had no problem with casting James Corden, why should anyone else?

Agree 100%. When I was watching him, I thought this guy should be a rock star and that we're very lucky to have him.

Josh Henry can truly do no wrong and his Tomorrow was stunning and really lifted my heart.
Rob McClure was hilarious and truly is just an absolute joy to watch.

MUSIC MAN Seems To Have Been Rescheduled For April 2021 Jun 23

Sorry, should have quoted Sutton Ross comment.
Frankly, ticket buyers don't care about diversity in The Music Man. And if you do care, don't go, it won't make a dent.
Would it be considered firing though in this case? Maybe there will be "scheduling conflicts"

I love getting attacked for asking if Rudin will add diversity to its leads given everything going on in the world and the theatre world. Simply hilarious.

Sutton Ross said: "Why don't we instead hope the people behind the filmadd some POC to the production team and see what naturally extends from that from that rather than just hope the film adds a little token diversity to its cast list?
A huge emphaticYES for this idea."
A genuine question for this specific movie adaptation, where there already is a director, writer, composer etc... what would diversifying the production team mean?

While I 100% agree POC need more visibility in media and would 100% be on board if Zoe was cast with a non-white actress, there's also nothing that says the role has to be played that way and that there's something wrong with a white actress playing it.

You’re being ridiculous. Yes, the Murphys can be cast with people of color, but their race is completely irrelevant to the story, and it’s not like there was some big rumor about a

Not everyone is going to have the same political views. It seems unrealistic to me to expect everyone to agree on everything. I may not agree with my boss politically, but does that mean I should quit my job? If any artist doesn't want to work for someone with opposing views, I have no problem with that, it's a free country.
