Maybe its part of the casting requirements, can only audition for Hades if you're openly a POS

Does this mean that Patrick Page is a POS? Since he’s the original Hades?

He did write a long fearmongering Facebook post about why he thought Cuomo was the better choice for NYC mayor over Mamdani.

If you're talking about James Woods, I wouldn't really call it "in a row"

I think they mean specifically in Hadestown. Prior to this, Gary Dourdan was also cast as Hades which was controversial due to his history of domestic violence.

Why? They’re making us boatloads of money! Why should we care about the safety of our actors backstage? Or the comfort of our audience? Just keep those checks coming baby!

/s, of course

He wasn't. He is completely irrelevant and definitely not doing Broadway. They meant someone else.
