The actress Fabi Bang 40, protagonist of the musical “Wicked” used her profile at Tiktok to regret a transphobia episode that preceded a speech of the show on Wednesday (26), in São Paulo.
According to the actress, a woman who went to watch the show would have been prejudiced with a trans person while the two were in the popcorn line. Despite the long report on social networks, Fabi did not explain what exactly would have happened, if the woman would have verbal or physically assaulted the victim, for example.
After the episode of transphobia, the victim and aggressor would have followed the audience, where they sat and awaited the start of the show. However, the other spectators would have revolted with the situation and began to speak out, asking the aggressor to leave the theater.
The whole situation was reported by the actress at Tiktok as she took the costume of the character Glinda in the dressing room. She classified what happened as a “very boring episode in the audience” and “something unpleasant”, which does not represent the message that the show conveys.
“This posture is totally against the story we are telling. The audience really revolted with this situation, and the show was delayed. We stayed about half an hour, postponing the show until the person who committed the act [preconceituoso] He agreed to get up from the audience, leave the show room to give testimony, ”he said.
In addition to the case of transphobia, the actress said she was even sadder to learn that the aggressor was accompanied by a child. “I imagine the child was extremely embarrassed to be going through that situation.”
“I was peering through the hole in the lock and, practically, the child got up together, and the whole theater was recording the situation, until the child put his hand on his face and cried copiously with shame,” he added. “I am very giving me the whole situation. Especially happening within an environment like a theater room, in an environment where no intolerance is welcome.”
Fabi Bang still left a message and stated her desire for justice: “The first is that transphobia, no way. The second is that the person who comes to watch a show like” Wicked “and commits such an act, she doesn’t know what she is doing her life, she didn’t understand anything.”
This Thursday (27), the production of the show also commented on what happened, in an Instagram statement. The team informed That the Military Police was called, attended the Renault Theater and began a criminal investigation appropriate to the case.
The production of the Brazilian version of the musical also repudiated any form of discrimination against people from the LGBTQIAP+ community and reaffirmed the commitment to inclusion, respect and diversity. ”The story of ‘wicked’ celebrates the acceptance of differences and the fight against prejudice, values that we also defend outside the stage. Our show is and will remain a safe space for all people, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.”

Noisy fans
Also on Wednesday (26), the production of “Wicked” had already spoken to make some requests for the public. In recent days, fans videos singing and dancing effusively during the performance of the musical viralized on social networks, causing controversy.
To avoid further inconvenience, the production of the Broadway musical determined some guidelines for the Brazilian audience. From now on, a sound ad at the beginning of the show asks the audience to try to stay silent during the performance of the play, leaving the applause to the end of the musical numbers. In addition, the artists ask fans not to record or take pictures during the session.
