It’s edited sloppily, in my opinion, almost like it doesn’t have a legit distributor (although it does). I would have preferred it kept some of the shock factor a little more under wraps, but I get it’s a hard plot to sell.

Again, I really enjoyed the original production, so I’m looking forward to it. It just felt like a fan-edit trailer more than an actual Amazon/MGM release.

Not a great trailer, but I enjoyed this at Soho Rep and I’m glad to see Aleshea Harris adapting her own work for the screen. And Kara Young is on a roll.

Clearly aiming for fans of the film with the use of that iconic green gown, which I think is a mistake on paper. It’s one of the rare “they got it right the first time” adaptations of a novel, and it will be very difficult indeed to capture that same magic onstage. They’d be better off ignoring the film entirely.

Is that not just the plot of the show?

I mean, they are, kind of.

And this board is all “JMO,” so you don’t need to snipe at people voicing theirs and try to sugar coat it by adding JMO at the end of the statement.

I’d argue the Gatsby moment has also passed.

God, I hope not. It’s a perfect score.

Jordan Donica as Burrs is very exciting to me. Have we seen him play anything other than “aw shucks” romantic leads before?

I’m nosy and did some detective work on Instagram, and it looks like Matt Doyle no longer follows the show account or either of his former co-stars. It appeared on socials that they were fairly close at the time of both of the other runs, so I’m a little surprised. Doyle also seems to have scrubbed his profile of any traces of Sinatra. Makes me think there’s some bad blood.

I’m already sweating thinking about Cheyenne in those Fiyero pants.

I believe she did it once at the Lortel, but this would be her first on Broadway. Still exciting, because that’s the pairing I’d want to see.

Kumail Nanjiani, Michael Urie, and Jenn Harris join the cast along with Jinkx starting August 4th!

Kind of “outside the box” casting, but I also thought that about Betty Gilpin, and she’s been my favorite Mary to date.

Can attest that Hannah Solow is a fantastic Mary and anyone seeing her is in excellent hands.
