I thought Gun & Powder was a dreadful title tbh, no matter how clever.

I saw this in Los Angeles and was delighted by the world-class performances but wished there was a better framing device for the show as a whole. The music of Sondheim is too clever for the transitions not to be.

But I know Collinswas a spelunker so it makes sense for it go into the cavernous Beaumont stage."

Crazy word choice!

Kit + Rachel with music by Jack Antonoff is a Gen Z wet dream. Regardless of whether they can afford tickets, the buzz around this is going to be insane.

I'd argue that Amy Ryan is more of a draw to the under 40 crowd than Tyne Daly. While that's not necessarily the demo for Doubt it's hard to overstate just how big she is for Gen. Z/millennials.

The Paper Mill bots always kill me.

I disagree with those who don't like the font; it reminds me of those used in 60s film posters a la Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf or even the namesake material. Not everything needs to be so on the nose.

I think audiences would be thrilled by a politically incorrect musical coming back to Broadway. My only concern is that if the production fails in any which way, the industry will blame it squarely on its irreverence (and not its performances, direction, etc.)

No! I really said to myself "that's great"

I'd like to see someone without a great deal of in-your-face star power take the role. As exhilarating as Lupone-esque Roses can be, you start to wonder why they never pursued stardom themselves.

The discourse around older audiences not appreciating blue comedy is strange to me. I understand it would be a dealbreaker for some, but I'd venture to say the Boomer+ demographic would be more willing to embrace a more politically incorrect show than the modern day Puritans of the Gen. Z crowd would.

Now you have me thinking about Aubrey Plaza as Louise.

Countess Luanne, and I'm only half-kidding.

Two unknown performers leading a 20-million dollar musical fits nicely into the spirit of the titular song. If they can make it here, they can make it anywhere!
