My parents were very active in the Boston theater scene. I grew up with a lot of Broadway show tunes in the house. I watched movies of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. I really like that stuff.

But some how in the past 50 or 60 years (at least) musical theater has become explicitly homosexual. I don’t think normal people have much interest in it anymore. It’s got an unseemly, sleazy feel now in my opinion. To be a star and to express any sort of Normal opinion has got to be the kiss of death.

The reviews were awful. But, blaming the right is easier than admitting a dog of a show.

in the play, which is based on a 2012 documentary about a Florida couple seeking to build a luxurious abode just before the 2008 financial crisis

Seriously?

Two seemingly opposite things could both be true at the same time

1) it was a bad play.

2) for all its acclaimed “free-thinking” and self-righteousness, NY City is very dense and uniform ideological thought bubble, comparable to what we have seen in places like the Soviet Union or 3rd world dictatorships.

Couldn’t possibly be because the play sucked?

From the article: ..was the target of intense criticism in September after Kirk's assassination for showing sympathy to his family in a social media post.

Kristin Chenoweth endorsed Hillary Clinton for President in 2016, and even sang in an endorsement video for the Democrat National Convention in 2016.

Now she has the Left turn on her.

Could have been poor ticket sales and the fact that NOT every “broadway” show is an instant hit no matter how many gays and trannies are in the cast. The leading ladies comments could just have been coincidental icing on the cake for nervous inventors.

Maybe Bialystok & Bloom should have produced this instead.

Kristin comes from a very conservative, Christian family. She had strayed into liberalism after her “Wicked” success, but recently had eased off off politics on her Instagram posts. I got to see her in “Wicked” (w Idina Menzel) years ago, and it was the best Broadway performance I have ever seen. I really hope she is 100% red-pilled by this as to who the real demons are: her “LGBTQ friends.”

When people hate Trump it’s really strange. They don’t change their minds. Ever as much as they say they did. Even if they say they voted for him. And when they feel safe expressing their Trump hatred the let it out in a hateful hiss.

Kat Timpf did it the other night on gutfeld. Very self righteous

When they get together in a gang like this. Ya they can shut down a show. Especially in Manhattan.

They are senseless with hatred for Trump and anyone associated with Trump like the late Charlie Kirk

This is a perfect example of "The left eats its own.” It is a common political expression and critique used to describe infighting, purity politics, and the internal criticism that occurs within left-leaning political groups or movements. It suggests that the left is more likely to turn on its own members for perceived ideological impurity or minor disagreements than the right is.

Meaning and Usage

Purity Politics: The phrase often refers to a perceived tendency within the left to engage in "purity tests," where individuals or groups are scrutinized and sometimes ostracized for failing to meet a strict, often shifting, standard of ideological alignment.

Internal Conflict: It highlights the idea that the left is composed of numerous, sometimes competing, interest groups (e.g., trade unionists, environmentalists, LGBT advocates) that struggle to unite, leading to internal conflict over priorities and strategies.

Consequences: The result, as argued by those who use the phrase, can be self-destruction or a loss of focus on a common external opponent, which can weaken the movement's overall effectiveness and ability to achieve power.

Historical Parallel: Some commentary draws parallels to historical revolutionary movements, such as the French Revolution's Reign of Terror or the Russian Revolution, where revolutionaries eventually turned on one another (e.g., the reference to Robespierre and Trotsky).

They hate anyone who doesn’t instantly agree with any perversion they want to engage in.

More likely, the play just sucked. Ticket sales reflected that, so it was time to cut losses and bail out.
