A petition calling for Ramasars removal has garnered tens of thousands of signatures.
It notes that the NYCB is a different workplace with no affiliation withWest Side Story.
Ramasar is described as a valued colleague who is performing brilliantly.
FromWest Side Storymanagement:
The management ofWest Side Storystands, as it always has stood, with Amar Ramasar.
Mr. Ramasar is a principal dancer in good standing at the New York City Ballet.
TheWest Side StoryCompany does not as a practice terminate employees without cause.
There is no cause here.
(The lawsuit accused Finlay of sending nude photos of Waterbury to Ramasar.
It claimed Catazaro had exchanged different images with Finlay.)
Finlay voluntarily resigned prior to Ramasar and Catazaros firings.
Catazaro was also cleared, but declined to return to the company.
Amar Ramasars behavior at City Ballet was vile yet West Side Story chose to hire him anyway.
Ramasar shared explicit photos of fellow ballerinas without their consent.
His behavior was disgusting, damaging and unlawful.
We stand outside your theatre chanting because we have been told that Broadway is a safe, inclusive space.
An earlier statement, given exclusively toPlaybill, said the company of the show stands with Ramasar.
The amended statement, provided by the shows press agents, now says the shows management stands with Ramasar.
