| It sounds like the people involved in the concert were respectful of Laura's decision. Osnes wrote to director Susan Stroman upon hearing that all performers had to vaccinated. "I so appreciate this respectful email and totally understand! I know it has become a very controversial subject and I'm in the minority within our NYC community [...] but I am not currently vaccinated. May end up doing so down the line, but for the moment, Nate and I have decided to wait til we know a bit more. With the variants and resurgence, I get why Guild Hall is requiring it yet I'm very bummed to have to lose this particular gig for that reason. I was looking forward to playing with you and Tony again in the Hamptons! Hopefully they can transfer the hotel room to someone else." Above people are saying that Osnes did not withdraw "gracefully". If the above email is not graceful, I don't know what is. Stroman responded to the email: "Oh Laura, I am bummed too. But, respect your decision. Thanks for letting me know. You know I love you and we will be together someday again!" Yazbeck emailed osnes: "Just heard from Stro [...] you won't be with us in the Hamptons. Hope you guys are hanging in there!" When Stroman read the negative articles in the media, in particular the NY Post, she wrote to Osnes again, "I am so sorry the article was written. I don't know how it happened. The change was done without any fanfare. This is a fundraiser and like any fundraiser - cast changes happen all the time. Please know that I think you are an exceptional person and I think the world of your talent." Yazbeck wrote her regarding the NY Post article, "It breaks my heart to see how this whole thing went down in the media. It was a total surprise to me. People look to create drama any way they can it seems. I'm sending you love and wish you only the best[.]" Sounds like the people involve were all very kind and gracious to each other. Too bad so many others were not. |
