Tony winner Karen Olivo has announced that she will not be returning to the Broadway musical Moulin Rouge when performances resume and it all has to do with Scott Rudin.

The Tony winner is the first Broadway star to take a real stand after allegations were made against the producer.

A bombshell report was released last week and it detailed numerous allegations against Rudin, who is an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony-winning producer. His ex-staffers spoke out with allegations of physical and mental abuse while working with the exec.

While Rudin is not involved in Moulin Rouge, Karen says that she is leaving Broadway until the industry properly responds to the allegations and figures out a way to move forward appropriately.

“I could easily go back to the show and make a lot of money, but I still wouldn’t be able to control what I was putting out into the world,” she said in an Instagram video. “And what I’m seeing in this space right now, with our industry, is that everybody is scared, and nobody is really doing a lot of the stuff that needs to be done. People aren’t speaking out.”

The stars of Broadway stepped out to celebrate the upcoming 2020 Grammy Awards at a special nominee celebration earlier this week in New York City.

Jagged Little Pill‘s Kathryn Gallagher and Elizabeth Stanley joined the stars of shows nominated in the Best Musical Theater Album category this year. The event was hosted by the Recording Academy New York Chapter, which just celebrated its 61st anniversary.

Ain’t Too Proud, Hadestown, Moulin Rouge, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and Oklahoma are all up for the award this year.

Hadestown‘s Reeve Carney and Eva Noblezada, Moulin Rouge‘s Aaron Tveit, Karen Olivo, and Danny Burstein, and Ain’t Too Proud‘s Saint Aubyn, Jawan Jackson, Derrick Baskin, James Harkness, and Ephraim Sykes were all there to represent their shows.

We bet Jagged Little Pill will be nominated next year!

The Grammy Awards ceremony takes place on Sunday, January 26 in Los Angeles.

Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo hit the stage for a performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Friday (November 15) in New York City.

The co-stars from the Broadway musical Moulin Rouge performed “Your Song” during the appearance. Watch the video here!

Aaron and Karen also sat down for an interview on the late night show.

During the interview, Karen said that when Nicole Kidman came to the show, she wanted to know how she was able to cough and sing throughout the show at the same time. If you didn’t know, the character Satine is dying from consumption.

“That was the thing she was most interested in,” Karen said.

If you didn’t know, Nicole Kidman received an Oscar nomination for her role in the 2001 Moulin Rouge! movie directed by Baz Luhrmann.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is officially open on Broadway and we have some great photos to share to give you a peek inside the new production.

The musical, directed by Tony nominee Alex Timbers, is based on the movie directed by Baz Luhrmann.

Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo star as Christian and Satine, the roles originated on screen by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. (See what they wore to the opening night party!)

Also starring in the musical are Danny Burstein as Harold Zidler, Tam Mutu as The Duke of Monroth, Ricky Rojas as Santiago, and Robyn Hurder as Nini.

Tickets are on sale now for the musical, which is playing at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York City.
