"Trump’s bitchy little pig Ric Grenell, whom Trump named as director, huffing and puffing at anyone and everyone about it, mostly especially Lin-Manuel Miranda, who yanked Hamilton off the Kennedy Center stage the second Trump installed himself as king and had Grenell start deleting all the art and music an old white Nazi who shits in bedpans might find offensive."

He'd better not do ANYTHING AT Mr Miranda. The man's a national TREASURE FFS.

“Any performer who isn’t professional enough to perform for patrons of all backgrounds, regardless of political affiliation, won’t be welcomed,” said Grenell. “In fact, we think it would be important to out those vapid and intolerant artists to ensure producers know who they shouldn’t hire - and that the public knows which shows have political litmus tests to sit in the audience. The Kennedy Center wants to be a place where people of all political stripes sit next to each other and never ask who someone voted for but instead enjoys a performance together.”

Oh please and sincerely go fuck yourself at the EARLIEST opportunity.

Of course Cheeto likes Les Miz…like ‘Cats’, tariffs, women, businesss, God and life in general, he doesn’t get it.

"Any performer who isn’t professional enough to perform for patrons of all backgrounds, regardless of political affiliation, won’t be welcomed..."

For once, a trumpster accidentally told the truth. One cannot welcome someone who is not there, which covers almost all of the usual cast.

Les Miz has a hero - well, actually many, but one in particular - and two villians. One of the two villains thinks he is the hero. He finds out. The other knows he's not a hero but thinks he deserves the best in life anyway (and gets way too much of it.)From some things he has said, it's quite possible the Gamboge Garbage thinks he is Javert. When he is actually less self-aware than Thenardier. Don't ask me what he sees in it. I don't know.

These dipshits still don’t understand why people in musical theater don’t like them?

Actually, the proven rapist is celebrating this, as it will allow him to finally stage Les Miz in his image, where Valjean will be an illegal immigrant and Javier will be triumphant.

🎼And so it has been and so it is written

On the doorway to paradise

That those who immigrate and those who get green cards

Must pay the price!

Lord let me find him

That I may see him

In an El Salvadorian Gulag!

I will never rest

Till then

This I swear

This I swear by Q-Anon!🎶

Olurinatti is giving a master class in media literacy and how White-dominated media manipulates perception around that stuff

She didn't use Broadway -- she used the multiplicity of ways Hollywood-centered media is downplaying the BOOMING success of Sinners as well as frantically trying to move the goalposts

We saw Sinners last weekend. It’s incredible. And the media can do what it wants, but the box office just keeps rolling along. It was still on four different screens at the local multiplex, with Thunderbolts on four others. I can’t remember when there has been two really popular and good movies out at the same time.

"The Kennedy Center wants to be a place where people of all political stripes sit next to each other and never ask who someone voted for but instead enjoys a performance together.”

So, that's why they fired everyone who refused to lick the proven rapist Trump's taint and cancelled any show that people would actually want to go to like the Drag shows?

Ric will still defend every baker, photographer, and florist who refuses him services.

“phantom limb erections” Chefs kiss for this one.

Appropriately the performers didn’t like the Nazi’s closing of the Kit KatClub. Whoda thunk it?

Tump and Grenell goose-stepping their way to banning Degenerate Art.

I am not sure which is weirder - Trump "dancing" to YMCA or the current members of the Village People saying, "nah, that's not what the song is about."

Also, too, what about those "vapid and intolerant" politicians who caused this debacle in the first place, Ric?
