Everyone is entitled to an opinion. However much I disagree with it, I do respect her right. But to have an opinion like this about the LGBTQ community, then to have the audacity to think she may play someone from LGBTQ community is unacceptable. Absolutely not. Recast.

My opinion on serial killers is the same, "I don't think it's right" but that wouldn't stop me auditioning for the lead in the Fred West musical as its called acting.
@JoelHarperJacks
Agreed. She is entitled to her views. Though I don’t respect her for it.
The bible - religion as a whole - is a man made construct. I can’t trust you if you think a beardy man in the sky made the universe with you in mind.
Entitled to her views. Just nowhere near me.
@JoelHarperJacks
Completely agree, I think in certain preofessions you have to be careful what you tweet and what you put out in the cyber world especially if you want to be ok the spotlight! What the previous cast has worked to highlight this comment takes away that!
@JoelHarperJacks
The views expressed in the historic social media post by a member of
@brumhippodrome
and
@CurveLeicester
’s The Color Purple cast in no way reflect those held by either of our theatres. We will be looking into the matter and will issue a full response in due course.
@JoelHarperJacks
Totally agree the Hippodrome are trying very hard to include new concepts of theatre into their seasons This is NOT helpful to future ticket sales. Be whatever you’re meant to be! Sadly I agree that this role needs recasting 🎭 x

Anyone that knows me will tell you I support
@CurveLeicester
& have shouted praise for the last 10 years. This is the first time I feel let down by them and angry.
@JoelHarperJacks
It's Like the saying "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" ....... but maybe not to the death. But you are so right she has no right to play an LGBTQ role.
@JoelHarperJacks
This character and show was a turning point for me being able to accept who I am, and although no one is able to take that away, I know for a fact that I could not sit and watch this woman - It would hurt too much. 🏳️🌈
@JoelHarperJacks
The role will require research. She may learn something. I totally get the calls for her to be re-cast, but wouldn't education be better than dismissing her and sending her away with her negative viewpoint intact?
