| “ When plays or musicals resonate with events…. do we not often have that discussed here? “ YES - but not because something in current events merely reminds someone of a play or musical. Which is what happened here, and how the thread kicked off. Naturally with so many replies, by now there are 2 or 3 posts, especially the conversation about Something Just Broke and its placement and/or importance in the show, that are interesting and that are more on topic than not. But it doesn’t change the fact that it sprung from a nonsensical question (speculative fan fiction about adding a new song to a completed score written by a deceased author) that only occurred to the poster because of an incident at a political event. I’m convinced KingSpeed and I are correct, but you’re obviously allowed to question that or make fun of us just as I’m entitled to question the inconsistencies of the board’s policies about what’s off-topic (according to the current guidelines, “not theatre-related enough, too political.”). But then I remember when everyone contorted themselves into knots because it appeared we initially wouldn’t be allowed to discuss the television show “Smash” on here. (“If a TV show features a Broadway actor, a discussion about the TV show in general (or its plot, its ratings, etc.) is off topic, but a discussion about the actor's performance in the movie is on topic.”) Everything is subjective. I’m spending a little less time on this board anyway, and frankly that’s partly because of things like this, where I believe KingSpeed is right when he said the mods dropped the ball. |
