Constance Wu 'disappointed' in new 'Maybe Happy Ending' actor after he took role in Asian cast

"Crazy Rich Asians" star Constance Wu criticized Andrew Barth Feldman, the new male lead for "Maybe Happy Ending," for replacing Darren Criss in the hit Broadway show.

"Crazy Rich Asians" star Constance Wu criticized the new male lead of the Broadway smash "Maybe Happy Ending," whose landing of the role atop a predominantly Asian cast has been met with scorn in some corners of the theater community.

Show producers raised eyebrows over the summer when they announced that Andrew Barth Feldman would take the lead from Tony winner Darren Criss during a nine-week run in September and October.

Wu appeared to question whether Feldman fully understands the implications of him, as a white actor, playing a role that has been so closely associated with Korean culture and other Asian players.

Wu said she is "so disappointed in him” in a lengthy Instagram post Wednesday.

The show is set in a futuristic Seoul, and before Feldman was cast, nearly every minute of stage time was occupied by co-lead helper robots Criss and Helen Shen. Shen is a New Jersey native and the daughter of Chinese immigrants, while Criss grew up in San Francisco with his mother, who is from the Philippines.
