Liz is ticked off because she never got a cameo on Smash (or Glee). She wants to up the stakes by trying to get Woody Allen to give her a cameo in his next picture. After all, Kitty Carlisle got one in Radio Days (and Six Degrees of Separation too!)
And why does she think Susan Stroman is controversial?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
