@bryantheba: I will probably delete this later…but the controversy at Maybe Happy Ending is not what happened at Great Comet… ironically what is ACTUALLY happening at Maybe Happy Ending is what people thought was happening at Great Comet… #maybehappyending #darrencriss #joshgroban #broadway #theatertok
"Great Comet is a very complicated story"... It's true. Everyone's got nine different names.

Thank you for acknowledging that Andrew Barth Feldman isn’t even that famous because I’m so tired of everyone acting like he’s such a big deal and is going to sell so many tickets.

MHE backlash is Target backlash. Only difference is I can go to Costco to supplement. There is no MHE supplement.

what aapi actor could’ve replaced darren that would’ve been good stunt casting? i think in general, it was going to be difficult to find someone to appeal to audiences as much because he is such a big name

can we really call a 9 week contract a first replacement

there is a lot to be said about how the great comet situation got into the larger social media sphere in a way where big name celebrities unrelated to the production were giving their two cents based on misinformation, and yet this situation (that is very straightforward) hasn’t gotten that larger scale traction… 🤨

Is Daren’s understudy an Asian performer? Why couldn’t he go on for the month? Proves Andrew was stunt casting

asian american theater fan here: thank you for articulating this!!! ppl saying this is great comet 2.0 has been rubbing me the wrong way, i’ve seen way too many yt ppl on this app use this as an argument to dismiss the criticism, and even those who are supportive are still using the comparison which aids in mischaracterizing the situation

Didn’t this Tony season double or triple the total number of Tonys that have gone to Asian actors? This casting choice seems to go against the good the show has done for representation on Broadway

Imagine if 7 days ago, they just...did the right thing. Imagine if ABF stepped down so his gf didn't have to release a statement. Imagine if this was handled well.

Well, Andrew did star in a movie with an Oscar winning actress. It bombed at the box office but it did do very well on free streaming. So not just a Bway and off-Bway actor.

also more and more people want “unknowns” over known actors so they really could’ve done something with that

He wasn’t even good as Evan Hansen, he’s a poor singer and he cannot annunciate to save his life. They lowered two songs for him. I’m shocked he didn’t close that show.

The funny thing is, if you look at the post-Broadway history of Great Comet, things worked out ok in a sense.

Do you think the show will ultimately survive the 9 weeks?

Really appreciate this video - I’ve heard the comparisons but wasn’t tuned into the theatre world in this way when Great Comet happened. Didn’t really have much info

I went from this video to your entire great comet series, and I think some of your videos got deleted because you commented on the final part in the playlist (video 1) that you still had about 5 more videos to go!
