This show has too much hype around it rn. Went this afternoon expecting an 11/10 experience but got a super long play that was just good with some *wonderful* musical moments. By far the best parts of this show revolve around the music. But for me there were absolutely no stakes to the plot and many of these characters were so one dimensional. I think this would have been much more powerful if this was edited down. I will undoubtedly look forward to album release tho!! Also Sarah Pid

The headline of this thread is unfortunate. I have been living in NYC for 20 years and have been an avid Broadway goer for even longer. Post-Covid NYC with its marked increases in crime/homelessness/the mental health crisis coupled with the droves of migrants around The Row have definitely created a very “lively” and different land scape around the area.

Caught this last night from a lottery seat and am v glad I did not pay full price for this show. While I give it props for being a new original musical, I found the “jokes” to be so tedious after about an hour I could not help but just roll my eyes every time one of the basic dense and dumb one-liners was hurled. Back to back to back to back. 

I totally agree that the score and book belong to two different shows. While Caroline Innerbichler had stunning vocal momen

No shade, but the *actual* set at The Shubert doesn’t look that much more impressive in person than the version on The View. 

I wanna know why they are still hiding Christian Borle in drags? No promotional materials/pe
