While being kind and courteous, I'm curious to know which Broadway performers are odd or have weird views in person. Ex: I've heard that Christine Ebersole is a 9/11 truther and conspiracy theorist.

It's kind of like finding out one of your favorite performers is a Republican.

Why the "I've heard" disclaimer, hasn't she done (and been quoted in) interviews talking about this? 

Daniel Sunjata is also a "9/11 was an inside job" person.

Yes, but I don't know if she still believes that... I only can say based on what I've read, and she seems a little "out there."

Christine Ebersole was once a registered republican, theocratic Christian, anti-vaxxer and 9/11 truther. I.e., Science is not part of her cognitive faculties. We don't know too much about Broadway actors, but she must by far top the list of actors I probably would never, ever get on with in reality. However, I personally can still enjoy her performances because she is just an amazing, charismatic performer.

How did she and Patti possibly get on during War Paint???

Isn't odd performers redundant?

How on earth is your thread "kind and courteous"?

Haha. Good point. I guess that we can talk about the issue without being mean spirited and being respectful about everyone. Thinking that someone has odd or usual views do not make her bad or evil. She entitled to have her own opinion, just like everyone else on here!
