In a recent interview, composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer revealed tensions with showrunner Mike White during the production of The White Lotus season 3. He compared their dynamic to that of characters in La Cage Aux Folles, highlighting a clash over the series' musical themes. Tapia de Veer expressed dissatisfaction with White's final choice for the theme tune, mentioning he was pressured into compromising his creative vision. Ultimately, he announced he wouldn't return for season 4, indicating a profound rift due to their professional disagreements regarding the show's music and direction.
"Working with Mike White was like catering to the whims of histrionic drag performer Albin in La Cage Aux Folles… the show felt very much like that."
"Maybe I was being unprofessional, and for sure Mike feels that I was always unprofessional to him because I didn't give him what he wanted."
