| This report says Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey have created a 60-minute version that'll include actors and audience. ... Where's it going? Barcelona. Oh. | |

| Wow, spending the summer in Barcelona to do a one-hour version of the show? That's a dream job, especially since she can't sing it like she did even ten years ago. We told some of y'all she wasn't cancelled, but y'all didn't believe us. | |

| It's becoming way too easy these days to decide to declare someone as "cancelled" when it hasn't happened at all. I'm not even sure what "cancelled" means anymore. It's really lost any meaning it had. I wish people would stop saying it. | |

| The joke in the Drag Race fandom is that Bianca Del Rio gets canceled four times a year. | |

| Where’s this new show? Alice: Barcelona. Wow! Alice: Shorter scenes! Sixty minutes?! Alice: I can sing that! How? Alice: With vaccines! Sixty minutes?! Alice (dithers over canceling): No, I can’t! Yes, you can. Alice: No, I can’t! Where you playing? Alice: Barcelona! Go ahead! Alice: With no set! Break a leg! Alice: It’s immersive! Laura, who has no shame |

| I wouldn’t exactly say she isn’t cancelled because of this one gig in a foreign non-English speaking country. But I agree the 1 hour work day in Barcelona does sound good. |

| I think you're displaying a somewhat American-centric idea that other parts of the world are a step down. My God, if I was given the chance to move to Barcelona, I'd snatch it in a heartbeat. You also might be surprised that Barcelona is actually pretty English speaking, at least as the ubiquitous second language, and it has become one of those international enclaves where people who work jobs remotely (especially in tech) set themselves up and live a pretty good life. The food is excellent and not too expensive, there's great entertainment, especially if you like dance, and it's a very livable city. And when we're talking about an actor who has only appeared on Broadway three times in the past 20 years (and has split audiences over whether her voice is still pleasant to hear), this is a plum gig. |

| You'd be amazed at the amount of people there speak better English than in the States. A very impressive city than is the Jewel in the Crown of Spain. | |

| That caused the controversy is known to Spain audience. Again you put your subjective meaning to my words in my statement. I’ve been to Barcelona and it is a great city. I know someone that stayed there through most of pandemic and recently returned to US. But you stated basically her career has survived her missteps and I’m pointing out that you can’t assume that based on this gig. That just a big assumption on your part for factual proof that her grooming actions are forgotten—sounds like Trump logic to me. | |

| If she was toxic, then it would not be worth the hit that the "Next to Normal" creators would take for creating this production around her. And with the way the internet works, people who know who she is have access to the same information we do. And again, the idea of being cancelled is that you can no longer work in major level gigs, and certainly can't do anything at the level of your current career. For someone who has not been on Broadway since 2016 (when she was basically in the ensemble), headlining a Barcelona musical experience is not something I would call a step-down. No Trump logic required. |
