“At its heart it has a universal message of love and acceptance,” they write. “The fact that that extends to sparkly boys seems to be controversial.”
In a brief statement to Deadline, a Kennedy Center spokesperson said, “The cancelation of the Finn tour was a purely financial decision.”

the musical’s main characters were described as “Finn: A young shark who just wants to be his true self. He loves sparkles and bright colors despite being a shark,” and “Seasil: A regal tang fish who becomes friends with Finn. Seasil wants to shake up the regal tang tradition and do a different dance for the jubilee.”

Rob Schmitt on Newsmax just showed some of the vile nonsense that we’ve been paying for called “entertainment” at the Kennedy Center. It could be classified as porn.
WE ARE FORTY TRILLION $$$ IN DEBT!
Yes. Because they catered to ideologies in a biased way, Nihilism being at the forefront. That’s easy.
Excellence is not.
Art is by nature subjective, yet we share it. How often does it happen that one is able to separate the art/artist from their political disposition?
Joni Mitchell: I cannot stand her politics, but her skills as a songwriter and performer strike me as excellent.
We all differ on these things, so a place dedicated to uplifting excellent creativity in our midst has to be difficult to manage.
There is also a factor of impatience and ignorance in play. I do not like opera, but with an open mind and a good teacher I could easily come to love it.
Celebrating bodily deviance is just wrong and has no place Amidst a civil people of any kind.
The sooner the better.
My thoughts exactly.
“As a little kid in Catholic school, we were shown black and white movies about young saints. No sparkly boys.” Me either, the Nuns even let us listen to World Series baseball games on the radio. I don’t know if they were sparkly boys.
“At its heart it has a universal message of love and acceptance,”
then they follow up with “Kill Trump and his supporters!”
Sigh, there’s so much to be done, and I had to stumble upon this?
Uh, at the rate things are going thry will have no audience.
True, mostly. The dilemma is: Ate the arts now solely for the entertainment and enjoyment of the Left? Seems so.
Terrible! “Toxic masculinity” etc. Let them target muslim boys with that crap!
Every where there is a different debt number. It’d be nice if there was one place that had an accurate debt number. It’s amazing that the country can’t even get that right.
Grenell just fired about 4 managerial level people there, too.
They probably had a violent fit in front of him and earned it.
Building is difficult; tearing down is easy.
Wow...haven’t thought of that in years!
As the end theme song went “Beany and Cecil, the seasick sea-serpent...A Bob Clampett cartoooooooooooon...”
That’s not far from the truth about some of the shows.
The groomers are very upset and will tell you about it!
No one pays much attention to ambassadors, but Grenell was pretty impressive as Acting DNI. Trump seems to like the guy, and I’m pretty sure we will be seeing more of him.
The left has formed a circular firing squad.
There have been stories of leftist white volunteers being kicked out of museums because they were evil white people.
