They were so proud of their Broadway casting and would’ve never cast non neurodivergent actors, so this is surprising. Regardless to the actors in it, the show isn’t very good.
That's because it was Broadway casting. There's a difference between professional casting and amateur casting in terms of expectation.
I'd also wager there are more neurodivergent theatre nerds out there than you might expect. I'd also expect that groups or p
