The audience are not letting the situation with Amy Seimetz go... Rightfully so. She was set up to fail, and the fact that she was replaced because she was "veering too much into a female centric perspective" is probably the most jargon filled misogynistic comment I've read this month. How do you make a show about a young female musician *without* making it from her perspective... Shouldn't her perspective matter the most?
I guess they have a problem with the character "Tedros" played by the Weeknd. He should have sat this one out and just directed it, it would have been different.
