Broadway’s "Hadestown" will no longer feature Geno Segers in its upcoming cast after past comments about transgender people resurfaced. Segers had been set to make his Broadway debut when the new company was due to begin performances on Sept. 1.
According to the available report, the production team and Segers reached a mutual decision for him not to join the show. The move came after earlier remarks linked to the actor drew renewed attention and prompted backlash.
The development marks a sudden change for the long-running Broadway production, which had announced Segers as part of its next cast lineup. His exit removes him from what would have been a notable stage debut in one of Broadway’s best-known musicals.
While full details about the replacement or any further response were not included in the trimmed report, the key outcome is clear: Segers is out of "Hadestown" before the Sept. 1 cast transition, following the resurfacing of his earlier transgender-related comments.
