The show is doing pretty well at the box office. I don't know if that's directly related to Gustin, but he got a huge round of entrance applause the night I saw the show. (No other principal did.) I thought he was fine -- nothing special -- but as others have said, it's admirable he decided to headline a new musical for his Broadway debut. I wish him well.
"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
