For an original musical written by two students, this has had such a fantastic run. I started the original SIX thread years ago suggesting it could open Off-Broadway and was veryyyyy surprised when they announced a Broadway run! However, I do predict the show won't stay closed for that long and will reopen in a smaller, Off-Broadway theatre.

I'm a bit put off with these horror plays after seeing 2:22: A Ghost Story, given that the "horror" was essentially a supernatural drama, and the only "scares" came from blasting an obnoxious scream into the audience every now and then... Is this along a similar vein?

This was always a very, very odd story to make into a musical. But I was informed that Irvine Welsh doesn't own the play rights, which is very successful in the UK, so this was his way of reclaiming what he could as a mindless cash grab. That aside, it's baffling this didn't originate in Scotland. They should have staged it in Edinburgh, had it play a season in Glasgow, and built momentum, before taking it to London.

Could Darren Criss be an option? He always seems keen to throw himself into something super camp.

I’ve seen that a live action Princess and the Frog movie is in the works, but it’s a sequel to the original movie instead of a remake. I always thought that’s what Moana should have done, been a live action sequel instead of a remake!

I’m a huge fan of the show and would be really interested in seeing it close. Given some of the non-replica productions we’ve seen I’d love to see what regional theatres would do to the show. Famously, it’s in very bad shape in London. So above all I do think it’s worth closing there.

Seems as this point the best thing they can do is just release it for amateurs and watch every theatre group in the world perform it.

2:22 - A Ghost Story was just announced for an Off-Broadway run. I could see François playing either of the male roles in that, could that be a possibility?

Someone on Twitter suggested that Aaron may be returning to close the show as his scheduled time off from Chess is August 18th - 30th.
