| This is absurd. Hope that actress Jully (rhymes with bully?) Lee is satisfied. | |

| Um, Travolta didn't "mispronounce" Idina Menzel's name. He made up an entirely new one. | |

| Travolta has a reading disorder. Seriously. Part of the reason he sought out his chosen religion. | |

| A good point in terms of people making fun of Travolta, but also - if Travolta has trouble reading a teleprompter, he should really learn his lines before going on national TV to introduce a singer. Or wear an earpiece. | |

| Like a lot of people with Dyslexia, he thought he had it down (he apparently memorizes everything he says at events like this--and consequently doesn't do them often). But when memory failed, he went to the prompter and read what he saw. I agree about the earpiece, and I suspect he will never appear without one again. But as Dyslexia is a hot-button topic in his religion, I wonder if he will ever address this in a conventional way. | |

| Your response is absurd. Nothing in the reporting indicates that Jully (rhymes with Julie) Lee was personally seeking to harm the organization over this gaffe - and actually, the coverage in the Times indicates the exact opposite. Moreover, the good reporting on this event points to years of the Alliance's dysfunction in working with non-white theaters, and this even was simply the tipping point. | |
