I went again last night to see if anything’s changed (it hadn’t) and I’m more shocked than anything that they still don’t let that poor lady change out of her hospice clothes for the curtain call. 

Early previews I said how the book for a good portion of act one is actually pretty funny and campy in parts but damn, last night it was NOT funny anymore. Whether they removed the jokes or were told to tone it down, this show DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGE

I’m curious if they’ve done serious work since the last posts in this thread because i thought this was a riot. People in the audience tonight were almost screaming with laughter.

Yes, 54 Below has pretty much replaced it as far as theater people go, but i don’t always want to spend $100 to see something there (with the minimum). At Joe’s back in t

This was an overall very unfortunate production of a great play. If this is your first exposure to the material, I can't imagine you'd walk away understanding why it hit so hard originally or how on earth it won the Pulitzer. The main problem is some of the worst miscasting I've ever seen on a Broadway stage. I say this as someone who actually really does enjoy Ayo Edeberi on film. But there is not one true note to her Catherine on stage, not one believable line of dialogue. 

Morrison does it in a tiny little speedo, as well. 

I thought he and the rest of the new cast was sensational. Sad he’s only doing it for a few weeks but I hope this dipping his foot back into live theater makes him want to do another show very soon. 

One little Easter egg, he repeats a line that Terrence Mann used to say to a certain audience member each night during “Rocky Horror” as a little homage to where he started on Broadway and while ever
