Yeah, I couldn’t think of two less appealing stars. Very disappointing, I have such an affection for this show.

Without the in the round staging how “innovative” can this production be?

Well, I wasn’t the only one misrepresenting Austin. The show’s social media tagged the wrong Austin Scott.

Girl there's literally a POC in the leading role.

Gotta say, I like the picture of the three of them in the Great Hall.
I’ve always felt like I can hear the ghosts of Yankees past, present and future if I walk through that area when I visit the Stadium.
Imagine if we could tell everyone here that Liberty Mutual customizes car insurance to save people hundreds. (LiMu squawks)

Again, Austin... literally Black. Black. It's on his Backstage Resume. Has played Seaweed in Hairspray. Collins in Rent. Benny in In The Heights. Like... what is going on in people's heads?

Actor Austin Scott identifies or casts as Black / African American or multiracial/mixed.
The most needed recast is Gloria Thorpe from the DC production. The weakest link. Let's hope the show raised the bar on that role.

What on Earth are you talking about? We very clearly have a black actor cast in the lead role. Are you reaching that hard to find something to complain about?

Several people I know signed up for advance notice of ticket sales, yet no one received an email that tickets are now onsale (on broadwaydirect.com). Seems to me that telling the interested people who bothered to sign up that tickets are now onsale would be smart promotion, but what do I know? <SMH>

Didn't they go on sale yesterday with the announcement? What is there to wait for?

Not everyone saw that announcement, me included. I only found out the tickets were onsale when I checked the ticketing platform this morning. Made me wonder why I had bothered to sign up for notification--it's the first time I've done that for a show when I've not received some sort of email alert.

The same thing happened to me with Spring Awakening.

Given their terrible cover art, they are obviously touting NPH as the big celebrity, but I wonder if he can still command such prices. I think people wanted to see all three men in Art so those prices made sense, but his last musical was 12 years ago. I miss special preview pricing. Sigh.

Agree with you 100% on the lack of preview pricing. That said, a random look at a few performances looks like the $350-$400 seats are moving pretty well. (Unless of course they're holding back seats there.) Not so much the cheaper seats in rear orch, and the mezzanine so far is barely touched.

I can see a world where they can do something innovative by putting "baseball stands" on stage and having the home base being downstage center. If they were so daring.
But innovative is definitely in modernizing the script and adding Joe as a black character.

I think because the new script really centers on Joe, I really felt in DC Applegate was a co-lead to himthan being the star role. (Which again, makes me so sad about the billing.)"
Applegate barely felt like a co-lead. I saw/listened to it dozens of times and each time Rob came out for final bow I was like “oh that’s right Applegate is supposed to be the lead.” Rob McClure was great though and could’ve won a Supporting Actor Tony for this.

Tbh, I don’t like the cover art for this revival, the 1994 revival one was way better.

Does anybody have any inklings on who Gloria is? Is it Alysha Umphress or Leslie Kritzer or somebody entirely different?

What kind of graphic designer orphans the word "lineup" like this?
"
Inexcusable. Not to mention the text being noticeably off-center, and all of the bottom copy being way too close to the edge with no breathing room. I'm a little baffled by how this could get approved. Is this a bad AI situation??
I don't love being negative on here, but I have such a soft spot for Damn Yankees, and was excited about this revival, and am scratching my head at the moment at this blatantly unprofessional design job.
Though I definitely don't hate the Julianne Hough casting like others do. I think she might surprise everyone.
