It's an insult to theatre how quick this shut down

[@geckoing]

I am going to SELL MY SOUL for this blessed show to come back

[@jojoidk_448]

Me TOO

[@mr.peanutbutter7282]

And now I'm crying because this show was full of promise and was just shut down for awful reasons. Just...crap man Comet deserved better

[@renatarego5054]

Why was it shut down?

[@jakegriffin6360]

It was accused of racism. Okieriete Onaodowan (better known as Oak), the guy who was in Hamilton, replaced Josh Groban as Pierre on July 11, 2017 (I think this was to drive up ticket sales). When the show began to struggle with finances, celebrity Mandy Patinkin was planned to replace Oak in August. Now, fans were upset about this announcement because the arrival of Mandy (a white actor) would have forced Oak (a black actor) to cut his run a lot shorter. Mandy left the casting two days after the announcement caused controversy (he left before he got to play Pierre). I think Oak left too as a result of the controversy but I don't know. Dave Malloy (the creator of this musical and the original Pierre before the show opened on Broadway) assumed and finished the role for its final set of performances until it closed in September of that year. He originated the role of Pierre and he also finished it. So to sum it all up, this show closed because people thought it was racist since a white actor was replacing a black actor. The controversy started on July 26 (when Mandy replacing Oak was announced) and the show closed a little over a month later on September 3.

Marya D has the perfect lyrics to describe everyone who boycotted and defamed the show: “gossips and crybabies.”

@@jakegriffin6360 I hate to make this political, but it was leftists and cancel culture. It's a shame a show this good was prematurely cancelled.

[@emilyluna1132]

hey I have downloaded the bootleg that was removed from youtube and would be happy to share it with you if you give me your email (i have it as a google drive file) I've been fortunate to see it on broadway a couple times and obviously the video isnt the same thing, but it's still so great.

[@probablygayattorneys6556]

Emily Luna That is so sweet of you, but I'm going to have to pass! I have access to bootlegs already (and have seen it live twice) I was just really, really excited to finally have HD footage.

[@emilyluna1132]

I so agree about the HD footage! I hope they make a DVD or something I would pay good money for that lol

[@claddagh1826]

could you give those of us in the dark a hint about how to see the full show?

[@justg1356]

Emily Luna can you please send it to me

[@katycrawford8101]

i got to see this show in march and my god......the cast album and the small clips don't even come CLOSE to doing the show justice. the show is so interactive and you feel like you're part of the show rather than just watching it.

Should have won Best Musical (no offense to DEH)

It Really Was the True winner for Best Musical!! Its a Shame its Closing Sep 3rd

[@KingdomHeartsFan3211]

In a perfect world, this, “Dear Evan Hansen” and “Come From Away” (both are in my top ten favorite musicals) would have all tied for Best Musical. But alas, we do not live in a perfect world.

To everyone who caused this show close, those who caused multiple actors and actresses of color to be put out of work, those who killed a groundbreaking show: *_DISHONOR ON YOU, DISHONOR ON YOUR COW..._* (I’m just gonna stop here. Mushu didn’t have time to curse anyone else.)

[@KingdomHeartsFan3211]

Petition to bring this show back to Broadway with the original staging and set and lighting design, and perhaps give Mandy Patinkin his fair shot at playing Pierre... ↓

[@claire-fox]

I traveled by 11 hours by car from Michigan to New York to see this two weeks ago and it was absolutely stunning! I'm already dying to go back and see it again. It was hands down the most incredible theatrical experience I have ever had. I saw Hamilton last June, and I liked this show more. I cannot praise it highly enough!!

[@pig9412]

This play was a once in a life time chance to see. Best play.

[@Swiftpaw12]

Please, just promise me, WHEN you guys go on tour, you'll come to Southwest Florida so I can see this. Please, I need this more than Hamilton, Paramour, and Tuck Everlasting COMBINED. I already know I'll spring for the on stage seats.

[@undynetheundining4748]

I saw this when I visited New York and it was absolutely astonishing. Honestly so amazed by the cast and crew, you all made this elaborate show so magical.

zack I'm done with Broadway and it's people if it doesn't. Except for Phillipa Soo. Shes acceptable

[@alizzahGrace]

I'm certain Dear Evan Hansen will win

[@ThatsAmore123]

It's either Dear Evan Hansen or The Great Comet of 1812

[@kaydinyounger6087]

This has high chances of winning though

[@zackabdulbaki879]

Thats Amore i think DEH deserves best actor and best book, but score, director and overall musical should all go to comet 💫

[@celestelalianna7276]

Ahhh...The good old days where people stood together in the same room...
