there's a reason they say "that's showbiz, baby"

She’s very much the epitome of that because I know a lot of bad personalities and rotten people on Broadway & in Hollywood get to have clean comebacks. TBH I think bad behavior gets rewarded in entertainment, it’s a screwed up system.

After having heard the DROMP, it's sick they actually let Beanie on that stage just to do disservice to that song like that.

Lea isn't deserving of the role but she was born for it. A necessary evil. 

 

ETD: Lea will sell. I'm thinking of going and I've never been to a broadway show but this is kind of historic.

(The Daily Beast article didn’t make Benko sound bad at all, IMO. Just made Beanie sound bitter.)

Really the fault is with the producers for not firing Beanie before the show opened. Should’ve recast with Lea, who already knows the show backwards and could’ve been ready ASAP, and claim Beanie had an injury or whatever. No one would’ve had to know that she couldn’t sing the part. 
 

But now here we are with Beanie being publicly humiliated.

Wait, I'm screaming they're having Lea rehearse off-site and not with the cast because they're nervous about her behavior

this is so entertaining Lea Michelle will go places in life tho....she's willing to do ANYTHING to get to where she wants to get to

I have never been to a broadway show but this drama I admit makes want to go see the show itself and see other broadways shows tbh. Idk there was such drama in the theatre tbh.

This sounds a lot like what happened with Patti LuPone and Sunset Boulevard.
