Happy this is finally making it over.

Think something limited comes into the Belasco before this?

So glad to hear this isn't dead. I was one of the people that loved this show, even though I understand why its not everyone's cup of tea. This will definitely be the show to beat come Tonys, as its only really competition at the moment is Jagged Little Pill (which will be an audience favorite but I don't see it faring as well critically pending major changes to the book).

I thought there were some weak links in the cast at The Public, so, hopefully, they'll fix that, and I'd love to see some of the original London performers come over, especially the Olivier winners, Sheila Atim and Shirley Henderson.

I've always wondered why more musicals don't go to the Belasco. Excited to see this one premiere!

As far as I'm concerned, it's a musical.

It is 100 percent a musical.

The 2019-20 Broadway Season is already shaping up to be quite a bit stronger than this year.

I would say MOULIN as well.

I expect most of the cast from the Public will repeat on Broadway, but I'd love to see Shirley Henderson and Sheila Atim reprise their Olivier Award winning performances from London.

Hopefully this is as good a year as last for scores within plays...

I could see Mrs. Doubtfire transferring before the end of the season - it would be a wise choice, because they'd pretty much be guaranteed a nomination, if not a win, for Best Score at the Tonys.

The original London cast was stunning. I hope it's a big success!
