Has this found a theater yet? Winter Garden or St. James? Hoping it can still get in this season.

Saw this over the weekend and it looks like they’ve now extended.

Agree with the above poster I had no idea it would be so good. The audience was in tears laughing throughout the whole thing and everyone on that stage can SING. The story as a whole is pretty muddled, but the dark twist at the end with Margot almost made up for it. Each song is funny in its own right, but I wish they could figure out how to make the sum greater than the parts.

If they can really focus on making the book coherent, I can see this having a Titanique-level run (and even that show wasn’t coherent). This is much smarter though and will surely attract a specific crowd. They lampooned everything from Hamilton to Dear Evan Hansen to Jamie Lloyd.

Weren't they working on rewrites for the transfer before this happened? Maybe they could add in some coronavirus jokes during the opening monologue for the new version. It is a "show about death" after all, and people will be needing the laugh.

I wonder how Sophia Anne Caruso is feeling right now.

Love love love this show. Watch out.
