6.Kristin is starring on Broadway in a smash hit play, and the play is a hit primarily because of Kristin's Tony Award winning performance. Because the play is somewhat unusual, and because the producers worried that they might not recover their investment if Kristin left the show before it broke even, they signed Kristin to an unusually long 2-year contract to play the leading role, a fact that was widely reported in Variety, other entertainment industry publications and the New York Times. A year into the run of the play, however, Kristin receives an offer to play the lead role in a big-budget movie musical, Low Low Land. She and the Low Low Land producers sign a contract for her to star in the movie musical, and she withdraws from the Broadway play with 10 months left on her contract, breaching her contract with the Broadway play producers. Without Kristin in the lead role, the play closes a month after Kristin withdraws. The production does not recoup its investment, so the producers and the investors lose most of their investment in the play. The producers of the Broadway play sue the Low Low Land producers and likely will (A) win a case in defamation; (B) win a case for tortious interference with contract; (C) win a case for commercial exploitation; (D) lose the lawsuit. (Assume for this question that the COVID-19 pandemic is not happening and both Broadway shows and movies are proceeding in the usual course!)
