Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812 played its sold-out, final Broadway show.
- Former cast member Josh Groban flew in to be
at the last performance-
Comet composer Dave Malloy finally speaks up about the
controversy that closed the show- He shades former
Hamilton cast member, Oak Onaodowan, who he says came in unprepared and then blamed the show for his starting date being delayed
- Says Oak was replaced for financial reasons, not racial ones: “We were trying to make enough money to stay open,” Malloy said. “To see that narrative get painted, and then to have other people amplifying that narrative and then other people not speaking against that narrative when they could have and they themselves knew that that was not a correct narrative — that was all a bit heartbreaking.”
