I love this play. And Danny. But at Broadway prices, I simply don't need to see it again.

Hecht and Shamos are terrific choices for Bessie and Myron. Burstein is luxury casting in the relatively small role of Uncle Morty. 

If I had a total blue-sky wish list for the rest of the production, I'd love to see Andrew Barth Feldman as Ralph, Alden Ehrenreich as Moe, Hannah Einbinder as Hennie, Will Brill as Sam, and Mandy Patinkin as Jacob.

The last Broadway revival definitely leaves big shoes to fill, though. It was so well done.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

That last revival is sadly all but forgotten but it was an embarrassment of riches, as far as casting went.

I just looked it up and HOLY CRAP that’s a cast. (It was just slightly before my entry into the theatre world)

Burstein is a titan of stage and yet is so humble and always just seems happy to be there. He’s my male equivalent of Kara Young.
