Laura Benanti Calls Out Zachary Levi: “Nope, Didn’t Like Him Then, Don’t Like Him Now”

Buy Me A Coffee

Laura Benanti just spilled some piping hot Broadway tea, and let’s just say Zachary Levi probably isn’t raising a glass in her honor. The Broadway queen has finally let it all out, dragging her former She Loves Me co-star Zachary Levi in a way that would make even the shadiest diva clutch their pearls.

Turns out, Laura wasn’t exactly swooning over Zachary when they starred as romantic leads in the 2016 musical. And if you thought time heals all wounds, well, think again—this Broadway beef is still sizzling like a steak on a hot grill.

The Great Dance Party Divide
According to Laura, Zachary’s pre-show hype game didn’t win her over. While the cast may have been cha-cha-sliding into good vibes, Laura was mentally in her dressing room rolling her eyes so hard they probably counted as warm-ups.

“He’d be like, ‘Dance party at half-hour!’ And I’d be like, ‘Dance your heart out, but I’ll be over here not doing that,’” Laura dished on That’s a Gay Ass Podcast. “He just sucked up all the f***ing energy in the room like a human black hole of mansplaining.”

She didn’t stop there. Laura painted a vivid picture of Zachary trying to be the unofficial She Loves Me cheerleader, while she was more of a “get the show done, collect the check, go home” kind of vibe. Honestly, relatable.

Zachary’s Controversial Opinions
Fast-forward to 2023, and Zachary found himself in hot water for not only endorsing Donald Trump (a choice, to say the least) but also for spouting unproven claims about fellow Broadway actor Gavin Creel’s passing. Apparently, Zachary linked it to the COVID-19 vaccine, and Laura was not having it.

“To use Gavin’s memory for his political agenda? Gross,” Laura said, not holding back even a smidge. “And don’t even get me started on his attempt to cry. He squeezed out one single tear like it was an Oscar audition, and then just left it there like a sad, shiny punctuation mark on his nonsense. F*** you forever, man.”

Final Bow, No Encore
In case you were wondering if there’s a reconciliation in the cards, Laura’s comments make it clear: Not. A. Chance.

So, what have we learned? Broadway may be all about love and jazz hands onstage, but behind the scenes, it’s not always roses and kicklines. And if you ever work with Laura Benanti, maybe skip the dance parties.
