Theater, especially musical theater, attracts an inordinate number of incredibly self-absorbed individuals as well as a culture that seems to encourage cattiness and bitchiness (I hate the b-word but I can't think of another word that would be as appropriate), and SRH is a prime example. Go back to what I said about how he encourages his casts to target whoever the designated outsider in the cast is--he's encouraging people to ostracize and marginalize one of his own cast members. As a director that just makes my jaw drop. A director is supposed to UNITE his/her cast, not divide them like that!
I doubt he even thought how obnoxious his initial comment would sound--he likely just thought he was being catty and clever.
