Kennedy Center Cancels Tour Of Acclaimed Children’s Musical ‘Finn’; Actors’ Equity Calls Decision “Beyond Appalling”
Deadline ^ | 2-13-25 | Greg Evans

“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.”

Well, in DC there are so many of them that they usually prevail. It’s a brutal place to be for Conseratives and worse since Trump has been here. I predict that a good portion of the artists will cancel and those with memberships and those with tickets will as well. Hope Ric hires good lawyers to enforce the contracts.

In my time, the treat at St. James was to watch Mercury space launches on a small black and white TV.

Take a look at the Ingmar Bergman film of Mozart’s “Magic Flute.”
It’s beautiful. Only downside, it’s in Swedish. But subtitles. The singing and acting are magnificent.
I think it would be a good opera to start with.

Liberals are just as maladroit at dealing with money as they are about dealing with responsibility

O’Rourke (sp?) said ... ‘Putting Liberals in office is like giving alcohol and the car keys to an adolescent’
