thank you for talking about this, it’s so important! minor nitpick: the prior version of Jagged Little Pill that pretty much explicitly stated that Jo is non-binary was not in the West End but at the American Repertory Theater (ART) in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2018.
It was so awful that they didn't nominate Chris McCarrell or THE LIGHTNING THIEF at all, especially that score! It felt really elitist and snobby to not nominate them at all.
I'm so glad your talking about these things! I feel like sometimes people get so swept up in the Broadway magic that it's easy to forget that there can be some harmful things mixed in with it.
This was the first year in like a decade that I didn't watch the Tonys because I couldn't watch people applaud and praise a show that is causing so much harm to my community. I am happy that people are started to leave the show, but the fact that Lauren won is very heartbreaking to me as a young nonbinary theater adult. I also am 100% with you that The Lightning Thief should have gotten some recognition it truly was an amazing show when I got to see it in Tampa. Thank you for speaking about these topics and it is always nice to hear other people's takes on these discussions.
I'm so sorry that the world is still like this but I have hope that it won't stay this way. Always appreciate your support, Taylor, and can't wait to see all of the awesome things you're going to do in the theatre world!! 💕

OH THANK YOU! That was my misunderstanding that ART was in the UK, thank you for that correction! ❤️❤️
To be fair, critics have almost always criminally disregarded family friendly shows. Finding Neverland anyone?
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE LIGHTNING THIEF!!!!!! NO ONE is talking about it and how it was snubbed and ignored. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I'm happy to talk about it forever because bestie I'm still mad 🥺

yes yes YES. Very elitist and snobby. Like not even ONE nomination. Especially because the majority of the actors played MANY roles and WELL.
Thank you for bringing these issues up. Such good points. It needed to be talked about. ❤
“Is this tea?!” Had the same energy as Jan asking “Am I the drama?!”
unfortunately I think I am now subconsciously influenced by TikToks sounds 😅😅

I so appreciate the support! I definitely think it's always good to look on the positive but also call attention to the work we still need to do. 💕

@@JessMedley Thank you for your words of encouragement! I have faith that this new generation of theater adults will be able to change the narrative!
Diablo Cody has won an Oscar, a Tony AND 6th place at the Hee Haw county fair children’s art competition.
I'm really upset that you didn't say "stick to the positive, and then focus on the negative" and go into a whole song.
Don’t undercut your point by bashing yourself with the Cis woman so much, just shout out the channel and move on.
