Over 500 Broadway artists have signed an open letter calling out Patti LuPone's 'racialized disrespect' toward Audra McDonald and Kecia Lewis: 'Deeply inappropriate and unacceptable.'

The 500+ signatories, which include Tony winners Wendell Pierce, Maleah Joi Moon, and James Monroe Iglehart, call on the American Theatre Wing and the Broadway League to take immediate action, not only in response to LuPone’s comments but in “establishing a broader standard of accountability moving forward.”
