The Hottest 2018 Chorus Boys (and girls) controversy

[Trish2]

Looks like Mo Brady of "The Ensemblist" is duking it out with Adam Feldman of "Time Out" in regards to the latest beefcake issue.

Heck, it's only months away from where they'll be celebrating their bodies yet again in Broadway Bares!

WHY I HATE “THE 10 HOTTEST CHORUS GIRLS AND BOYS” LISTS

....And for those who want to get right to the bodies just click here: 10 Hottest Chorus Boys in 2018 ( they also add 10 girls for equal representation)

That comment in the comment section had me gagged.

[gypsy101]

it’s not a list of the most talented, it’s a list of the hottest which usually means physically attractive. it’s almost like he doesn’t understand what the list is for.

[Elfuhbuh]

So humanity isn't allowed to celebrate finding others physically appealing anymore? Experiencing attraction is a mortal sin now? Give me a break.

OMFG.

[Mr. Nowack]

Hardly a controversy. Just some indignant queen.

Oh my stars and garters.  

In the moments when I was not reveling in the music, singing, acting, dancing and sets of the current 'My Fair Lady' revival, I was fantasizing about what, exactly, Steven Trumon Gray might look like after I ripped his costume off and threw him (gently) on a table.  

Now I know.  Sometimes the Universe delivers.

Could not possibly care less than I do about the so-called "controversy"-- AKA Click-bait du jour.

It's all a bit of fun, and let's face it, it's good publicity for these shows! Been reading it and it's interesting to see actual participants past and present add to the discussion. One of them says that they submitted the photos to Time Out for use in the article, so they know it's a bit of fun.

(And not to be crude, there's a certain irony considering what someone's husband was accused of only 6 months ago.)

"Didn't your husband abuse his position as a casting director to get with many of these guys?"

The tea is SCALDING.

[MayAudraBlessYou2]

OMG whoever JC is in the comments is the SHADIEST. I done burnt myself with the hot tea

[WayTooBroadway]

Because there are better things and ideas to be angry about!

After seeing that pic, I totally understand. Let’s hope he features in some Broadway Bares My Fair Lady segment. I’m clutching my pearls at the thought!

Hold up. Isn't Mo Brady the husband to Justin Huff, who was fired for sexual harassing guys? Like, c'mon.

Well, this is dumb. I wish people would stop undermining the larger cultural movement behind Times Up.

Re: Steven

You should have seen him in Company XIV's Cinderella.

Nothing like a little performative wokeness to try and hide your hubby's misdeeds!

One of my all-time favorite sentences on BWW.

Actually, that's where i first saw Steven Trumon Gray perform. He was spectacular in "Cinderella."  That production was my first exposure to Company XIV. He also performed in their "Nutcracker Rouge" and eventually landed on Broadway in Cirque du Soleil Paramour. Glad to see he's making the crossover from ballet and company work to Broadway! Talented dancer!
