Thank you so much for the review, as I unfortunately is traveling and won’t be able to see the show. Hoping the show would have a limited run on Broadway. This is a must needed AAPI show.

Ask for the Moon at Goodspeed Jul 25

Thank you. I am planning for to see the show if the schedule works out. This gives me the “Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” vibe. If I remember it correctly, the orchestration was also small for the show, but not quite as small as “Ask for the Moon”.

A DC trip should happen now. I like the orchestration they did for the public theater, and hopes the music and the instrumentation stays the same. Cut out the discussion part in the beginning of the 2nd act would make the show so much tighter.

Does anyone on the board know if the “Soft Power” for Signature Theatre has a new reworded book? I saw the Public Theater production back in 2019 and thought it was very interesting the way Tesori and Hwang uses the structure of “King and I” in this musical within a play show.
There seems to be a talk that the show was going to transfer on Broadway but the book needed updates and revision. So I am very excited to see that the work has been picked up again i
