It’s indeed going Non-Eq and they’re casting now. I mean if the demand is there? Def not usual. 

I don’t get why this board is so negative. I’d imagine this will have wonderful word of mouth and sales will pick up quickly. 

Hated Lehman Trilogy. Could not imagine ever sitting through this. 

Agreed! Enjoyed the tour (terrible wigs) but was missing some memorable lines and heart from the book. Loved the direction but the score could have been trimmed. 

I mean same director, no? Maybe stop using him… 

Is it the same set or elevated?

They have a terrific day of rush on their website. Usually get tickets for about $20.

Not to derail any further, but I think what happened was Nicole was sublime in an interesting/new revival and surrounded by interesting choices and cast. Where as Audra was also sublime but surrounded by ho-hum performances and stale direction. 

I saw it last week at a matinee that was very well close to sold-out. I think I went in thinking it would be a light rom-com kind of vibe, but it was totally not. Very Succession and dealing with real topics like addiction, etc. Gorgeously staged. I could see this doing well at Roundabout or MTC. 

So curious to see his direction for this since Oh mary is such a hit but his other works (like the La Cage in Pasadena) were not praised. 

I think Ruhl, Bareilles, Arden... those names combined comes across as prestige theater. I'm curious to see how this all shapes up because I loved the book but I'm not quite sure I thought "musical," so I'm happy to see how this new version comes to life.

I mean it worked in bigger spaces on its mini tour. It would be chilling in the intimate Booth.

100% will be non eq. Probably just that big video screen and that's it.

Loved the book. Love the song "Enough" that she performed. Very excited for this. 

This still doesn't really explain the sudden closure of HK, though? 

I hate that I won't get to see this on Broadway and missed it in Chicago by a year. Sounds interesting. 

Glad it recouped. I want to Timbers to keep getting work. Love how he directs and knows how to do spectacle. 

Things feel different with sets lighting costimes emotional stakes etc. 

For instance Happy Endings I loved all in the moment but I haven’t listened to any of it out of context. 

Loved it in Chicago. I thought the transitions between scenes were a little long (maybe that's specific to Chicago) but I still really enjoyed it.

I’m just not sure those songs justify the space.
