According to the New York Post, Weinstein told both the cast and crew of Finding Neverland that the lack of nominations "was a missile, squarely aimed at me" and "had no reflection on them or what takes place onstage every single night."
Weinstein, the New York daily also reports, wheeled out a cake with an inscription that read, "We nominate you the best cast on Broadway."
Matthew Morrison stars in the new musical at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, which has been grossing more than $1 million per week.
The morning of the nominations, Weinstein issued a remarkably mild statement in response to the Finding Neverland shutout.
