Too bad he didn't read the dozens of emails that explained how various phrases were changed due to their original inappropriate content, or read the actual script that his children brought home which highlighted the changes (including removing the word "hickey" and others), or go to a costume fitting to see the great lengths that the crew went to to make sure every costume was appropriate and fit each child. (Most costume fittings are done outside of rehearsals with parents present)

I'm also saddened that he didn't discuss his concerns directly with the staff and instead is attempting to spoil what was an amazing effort by adults and children alike with his contorted views.

To all those above who think they could cast a show "better" or "more fairly", please come to rehearsals and see these amazing women in action. As a very active volunteer who is at many many rehearsals, I see no preferential treatment. Just very hard decisions about how to utilize so many (154 kids) talented kids in ways that will be interesting to the kids and will benefit the show as a whole.
