That’s how I feel after seeing the third or fourth preview of BEACHES, which began the same night as this but opens four days earlier,

I believe SALESMAN is the only preview period of the season that lasted more than a month.

Quite the rave reviews!!!

Interesting! Wonder if this is for the Public? Or maybe City Center?

Timbers calls this his favorite musical ever. So if it’s indeed a passion project, that helps momentum.

"Radio Edit" is a funny phrase here - but I'd be interested in seeing the shortened version. I bet I wouldn't miss anything. I really liked it on Broadway but found it overstayed its welcome.

DPK was also in the WARRIORS movie so it'd be something of a full-circle moment!

He's someone I would love to finally get a Tony nom/win!!

David Patrick Kelly as the older gent with the beard?

There are Americans who could credibly play every role in this, but I really hope Tom Edden comes over.

Jen Simard could make a meal out of the VHB role. Bonnie Milligan might be better for Amy Booth-Steel's role (who also got an Olivier nom).

I was in mezz B26 for Giant which was labeled partial view but I thought it was a full perfect view of the stage. 

Heard great things about THE HEART, and glad to see FULL MONTY getting revived after kicking around for so long! Leigh Silverman + musicals = no good, though. Roundabout being a nonprofit gives it a little more of a cushion than a commercial production, since trying to convince famous actors to bear it all can be tricky.

Quite an impressive creative team, and a big get for the Huntington!

Wonder what commercial producers are behind it?

This was a 3/5 for me. A classic middlebrow Broadway play, formulaically written but nicely acted, that some viewers will feel is intelligent. A bit like this season's version of AMERICAN SON.

My audience was really "with it" and vocal, though.

It will probably get licensed a lot regionally.

BEACHES is nearly double the gross of some of those MAYBE HAPPY ENDING preview weeks, which I'm pretty sure means that it win twice as many Tonys and run twice as long.

Rehearse for 2 weeks, then record all the songs, then film for 5-6 weeks would seem logical. 25-40 filming days, with reshoots built in a few months from now.

KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN reportedly had 41 days of shooting and IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU had 27 days. Compared to Spidey, this will probably be more modest in scale due to lack of dance numbers and locations. 

Alexander Lamar said: "Is this a fairly large show?? A 995K weekly nut seems like A LOT for an off-broadway transfer of a parody. Is that figure mostly song royalties?"

It has a 19-piece orchestra (the minimum for the house it is playing in) and a cast of 17.

I would also love to see Emma Sofia nominated. So many good performances in that cast.
