POTUS was offered smaller houses. Ego and ego alone had that show in the Shubert. They never made money during their run. Not a single week I'd be willing to bet."

Well it  was my money! 

But this is def a stacked cast! I just wonder if the general population cares. Jessie Tyler Ferguson didn't ignite the box office.

I like everyone in the cast, but I would be surprised if any of them caused any sizeable percentage of potential audience members to feel an immediate need to buy tickets to see them in this play, myself included.

I adore him."

Eric McCormack was my favorite Harold Hill until I saw Max Clayton in the role

I had to Google pictures of that.  

Then I was shocked to learn that McCormack turns 60 this year.

Alex Moffat was a real comic asset on SNL and I'm glad to see him take the stage in a new comedy. 

With him now following Rachel Dratch and Cecily Strong, I'm curious to see what other SNL alumni might be inclined to star in some NY theatre productions
