Laura Benanti Slams Broadway Co-Star Zachary Levi: 'I Never Liked Him'

Laura Benanti is looking back on her experience working with Zachary Levi on Broadway, how she did not like him back then, and how she really doesn’t like him right now.

“I never liked him,” Laura said on That’s a Gay Ass Podcast. “Everyone was like, ‘He’s so great!’ And I was like, ‘No, he’s not. He’s sucking up all the f–king energy in this room. He wants to mansplain everybody’s part to them.’”

Laura said that Zachary tried to get the She Loves Me cast to do dance parties before the show every night, which some people enjoyed, but not her.

She said, “He really sucked everybody in with his like dance party energy. Like, ‘We’re doing a dance party at half-hour.’ I was like, ‘Good luck. Have fun.’”

Laura also addressed Zachary‘s comments about Gavin.

“To use his memory for his political agenda and to watch him try to make himself cry until he had one single tear, which he did not wipe away, I was like, ‘F–k you forever,’” Laura said.
