Theater Articles: Recent Broadway Crises
Julia Jacobs’ article in the New York Times entitled “Dancer Tries to Quell ‘West Side Story’ Controversy: ‘I Am Not a Victim’” raises interesting questions in the #MeToo era, namely who can and should define what constitutes a victim of sexual assault. A controversy arose in the casting of the actor Amar Ramasar the Broadway revival of West Side Story, due to the fact that Ramasar had been found to have shared nude photos of his girlfriend, the ballet dancer Alexa Maxwell, in a punitive act after the couple had separated. Maxwell stated that she had forgiven her former boyfriend, and had even felt pressured to prosecute him after a prominent attorney in the #MeToo movement had contacted her about the toxic culture at City Ballet, where both Ramasar and Maxwell had danced. Maxwell opposed Ramasar’s firing from the play.
Given that many women minimize the harm done to them, and also the fact that many artists in the challenging and competitive field of the arts do not want to be associated with being difficult, the question arises if the victim solely gets to determine the terms of any condemnation...
On the other hand, allowing society to do so would seem to disempower the victim, which is exactly what the movement does not want to do. The need to balance the needs of the individual, who may wish for privacy or to forget an incident involving a disturbing sexual assault, and the need for society to bring such concerns to light, is highlighted in this case.
Of course, the Jacobs article was penned long before the coronavirus threat darkened Broadway. The article “Broadway, Seeking to Stay Open, Suggests Stars Keep Their Distance,” was written when Broadway was still struggling to find a way to reconcile its tradition of stars meeting fans at the stage door with the new post-coronavirus reality. At the time, Broadway decided to first discontinue the practice, given the concern that its audience tends to skew older, and older people are thought to be at higher risk for complications from the virus. At the time, some actors and patrons were willing to take the risk, choosing to wash their hands and try to limit very risky behavior. But as New York has become the epicenter of the crisis, such an article seems quaint, in retrospect.

The instant coffee, called Via, Starbuck's newest entry into supermarket-style purchases, is sold at its lowest price point, compared with its higher-end coffee ice creams and bottled Frappucinos and espresso shots. Despite initial criticism Via has kept the Starbucks name alive on store shelves and in consumer's minds who are not currently going to cafes, because these former patrons and Starbucks loyalists have lost their jobs or because their
Disrupting America's economic system is a fundamental objective of terrorists Even as the world continues to struggle with the terrible shock from the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington, one principle lesson has already become clear: disrupting our economic system is a fundamental objective of terrorists. Prior to September 11, our economic environment was certainly not immune to terror, in comparison to many other nations; we lived relatively terror-free. Now,
(269) It would seem that the artists and the press of the era both recognized a hot commodity when they saw one, and in this pre-Internet/Cable/Hustler era, beautiful women portrayed in a lascivious fashion would naturally appeal to the prurient interests of the men of the day who might well have been personally fed up with the Victorian morals that controlled and dominated their lives otherwise.
