I see the Adrian Brody and Nick Jonas situation as that they have a name to make a splash, but are not unimpeachable against bad reviews? Having them does not give you a pass to have a bad production (à la Denzel and Othello). I do think this cast falls into that bucket - they will pique people’s interest, but the play and show have to still be good or word of mouth (or lack there of) will kill it…

Unfortunately this was a huge disappointment for me and my group this evening. Love the show but this was just so unredeemable in my eyes. I didn’t buy anything Billy was doing (and I was so excited when this casting was announced) and found the vocals all around pretty rough. The orchestra was even wonky in places and the staging was bizarre. Feels like such a wasted opportunity. 

Anyone have any updates or insights into this one? Jeb was one of my favorite parts of Dead Outlaw so super keen to see him do something new. Apparently he’s been working on this for a while?

The schedule looks super interesting, might be able to do a 2 show Friday or 3 show Saturday one weekend when I’m in town. Anyone been to the space before? Seating plan looks…interesting? I only do a couple trips a year and honestly am finding little I want to see next month… Should this go on the list? 

I’m not a pro, but I’m kind of excited for Conversations With Mother. Ironically I am going with my mum 🤣

I love Matt Doyle (duh) and we both love Caroline from Mrs Maisel. Seems like a fun time!
