What a rare thing in life.
And so I am sad today. A post shared by @abbijacobson“To blame this cancellation on the strike, (which is an essential fight for fair wages, protections and working conditions, etc…) is bullshit and cowardly.
But this post isn’t about all that. About all the ways this show has been put through the ringer.
Not today.”She added: “This post here is about the special show I was lucky to make with so many incredibly talented artists and actors and writers and crew. A show I’m so proud of.
Filled to the brim with stories worth telling. Full of so much heart and soul and value.”Elsewhere, Billy Porter has said that he will have to sell his house due to the ongoing strikes in Hollywood.The actor, singer and stage star – known for TV series Pose, 2021’s Cinderella musical movie starring Camila Cabello and his Tony-winning Broadway career – said that that ongoing actors’ and writers’ strikes in Hollywood has created financial uncertainty.
