The difference here is that Cipriano was announced to be in the cast for the re-opening next month, so his departure is abrupt. Perhaps it's related to the new TV show, but he doesn't make it sound that way from his statement. He's making it sound like he wants to break his contract because it's not a work environment he wants to be in anymore, which is kind of a big deal to say publicly like that.
I wonder when they filmed the numbers from the Best Musical nominees. Does anyone know? It seems strange to feature Celia Rose Gooding so prominently when she won't be in the re-opening cast.
