“There’s been another twist in the issue over Amar Ramasar’s casting in WEST SIDE STORY. And it’s pretty sneaky.”

The management team at WEST SIDE STORY has changed the wording of their terribly received statement.

“I am incredibly disappointed in the WEST SIDE STORY production team with their statement regarding Amar Ramasar’s casting.”

“As a society, we need to hold the abusers accountable for their actions, both legally and making it as socially reprehensible as cigarette smoking. While we strive for that more perfect union, keep these signs in mind to help protect yourself from future abuse.”

“If there are Trump-supporting performers on Broadway, you’ll probably never know who they are. Until possibly now.”

“At the end of the day, people are filming because they love theatre and want to relive it. It’s well-intentioned but it can’t be tolerated, it’s too distracting.”

“This past week, Disney and Lin-Manuel Miranda both tweeted out the announcement that the Hamilton would be coming to movie theaters starring the “Original Broadway Cast” in 2021. Except both were wrong. It will be missing Betsy Struxness. And she’s letting us all know she's not happy about it.”

“With the added attention to the Amar Ramasar controversy, there have been a lot of inaccuracies being thrown around about what was actually happening and a lot of dumb comments. It’s time to clear the record and correct some opinions.”

“For whatever reason, this industry loves to welcome back its abusers with open arms. Imagine if something that you loved just refused to fall out of love with those who abuse others.”

The second protest of Amar Ramasar’s casting in ‘West Side Story’ is set for Jan 31st. Now, a NYCB dancer and longtime girlfriend of Mr. Ramasar has released a statement to defend him and provide information regarding the situation.

In 2018, Producer Barry Diller voiced his support for the “#metoo” movement. Has his tune changed with the controversy over Amar Ramasar’s casting in his production of '“West Side Story”?

Before last night’s performance of the Broadway revival of West Side Story, a group of about a dozen protesters gathered outside to peacefully voice their outrage over the casting of Amar Ramasar in the show. And their display did not go unnoticed.
