I had read Icke's adaptation so I was not lost. Also, there are several scenes that take place on a couch placed on the right of the stage; thus I would recommend sitting on the left. Now, many spoilers.....stop reading.
I thought it was okay. I have seen most of Icke's work.

I haven't seen it since the restoration of the illuminated latticework proscenium. I love that 1910's American hodgepodge style... it is vulgar but it is also super charming. It is as significant a period in American design as Art Deco, just not as championed. And when it is restored correctly, you realize that it wasn't meant to be taken completely seriously. It was meant to be a bit silly and over the top.

Don’t Call It Broadway If You’re Paying Tour Wages

Yes, I appreciate the coverage especially since more legit orgs aren't covering it.
The touring contract also appears to have different collective bargaining rights attached to it and, if I am reading the Playbill article below correctly, would not go on strike should one be called. So this does sound plausibly strategic...

I agree that the promos of this production have been perfect, the essence of a teaser, not giving away too much but just enough to get audiences excited.
Re: will it sell on Broadway? Who knows but it will be excellent and memorable. It's already a legendary production.

What makes the Broadway key art any more or less of a come-on than the Off Broadway production where we were waiting for the nudie show from the beginning? Sure, the nudity has context in the play and politically but it was still a bit of theatrical titillation especially when Yondr gets involved… Yondr gives it a touch of prurience.

Holdren’s Vulture review is a pan of Lloyd’s direction, an evisceration. The only thing “mixed” about it is the way it nearly completely ignores reviewing the two stars.

Good, perhaps they don't want to pay out any more settlements to former employees who successfully call them on their racism.

A Casino in Times Square? No!

These people should have voted againstthe 2013 referendum then. Building a casino(s) in NYC is a matter of NY state law, why are these people only coming out of the woodwork now? They’ve had 10 plus years to speak out against it."
The referendum was put on hold for ten years and when it returned the political culture of the city and Albany had changed. The Community Advisory Boards (CACs) that are rejecting these casinos are aware that the elected officials who appointed them won't get re-elected if they let goons like these casino developers run all over them.

I find that aggregator not much better than an AI assisted search. That NYT's review was mixed if anything.
