IMPOSSIBLE!! 2 time Tony Award nominee
Laura Osnes has been let go of an upcoming show this summer because….. SHE HAS NOT TAKEN HER COVID-19 VACCINE!!!!!
The
Cinderella,
Bonnie & Clyde,
Grease, and
Bandstand favorite was initially set to reprise her performance of “Polly Baker” in a one night concert production of The Gershwin’s Crazy For You out in The Hamptons. She was replaced by another Broadway favorite
Sierra Boggess.
This upcoming presentation of CRAZY FOR YOU (like most Live Theater shows) are requiring everyone involved with the production….. cast, crew, musicians, creative team, and full star…. to have and show proof of taking the COVID-19 vaccine. When being asked to show her status, Osnes vaguely responded. She was pressed on by castmate and the production’s leading man Tony nominee
Tony Yazbeck…. since he also has 2 KIDS AT HOME.
Also it was revealed that Osnes is a Christian Conservative not believing in the vaccine. She’s also not the only one who is an ANTI-VAXXER.
This past Fall 2020, Tony nominee
Chad Kimball also received backlash pledging To “Respectfully Disobey” State Restrictions On Religious Services as a Christian Conservative….. even after he got tested POSITIVE for COVID-19. It also caused the Broadway star to be FIRED from his recent Broadway show
Come From Away.
