I think because it was incorrect and alleging potentially untrue things? Like he's bringing in dancers and not letting the show regulars perform... as opposed to adding dancers to fill the Radio City stage.
Of course, policing untrue things is not a job I'd want to take on around here, but it's their site.

I will never be able to hold BWW up as a beacon of journalism and freedom ever again.

If the thread was wrong, I can't blame them taking it down.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Was it, though? I’m genuinely asking. The last I looked the thread had about 10 responses. However, at this moment if it was untrue, no one seems to have informed the cast as their social media pages still seem full of outrage.

Thus the IF.
I had the thread open just before it was deleted and the OP had removed his origianlal post on it, saying he'd only repeated what he say on social media.

The only Twitter link shown in the thread had been deleted. They better watch it, or David Hyde Pierce will just come out and sing June Is Bustin Out All Over solo.

LOL. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just DHP doing the Mr. Snow part in the "Mister Snow" reprise in front of a curtain.

Even though the information on the thread was false, it seems weird to delete it? Like we aren't allowed to talk about producers or Tonys on here? Ugh.

Posted: 6/4/18 at 7:09pmDavid Hyde Pierce appears from behind a red curtain in full Renee Fleming drag, but with his Horace handle bar mustache. He proceeds to lipsync to June is Busting Out All Over, sung by Leslie Uggams from behind the curtain.

For some reason, when I type "June is Bustin' Out All Over" on Youtube, the first autofill result is Leslie Uggams. I never even watched that clip before.

If something is untrue, and about the Tony Awards, it usually gets deleted around this time of year. Also, some people don't like people speculating on their Tony performances. Scott? Can I get a comment, bro?

It was initially reported via twitter and here that Scott Rudin hired non cast ballet dancers to perform the Blow High/Low song on the Tonys and not allowing the cast to perform other than to use their voices to sing the song. They are now saying it wasn't true, but that he was adding dancers b/c the current cast isn't large enough to fill Radio's stage. The thread that discussed the cast replacement accusation was deleted.

Yet another example of censorship here at BWW... Not particularly surprised. In my short time I've seen at least five threads that were engaging and entertaining deleted.
Well, anybody got the Google cache link?

Okay, to be fair on this one.
There's a fine line between censorship and possible liable/slander

"example of censorship here at BWW"? This is a Broadway message board. The thread was an idiotic attempt to start drama that literally did not exist and was then deleted.
I'm glad the mods are greater action at policing this board. It has become a dumpster fire of bitchiness in the last two years and has frankly become an industry joke. Even a show coming in next season is going to poke major jokes at this boards expense, ya'll will have a meltdown.
