I saw on Instagram that a bunch of them were headed to DC today for a performance. I bet that’s where they’re headed.

I work 1 block from that museum- naturally I’m teleworking today ??.

Thanks to the Smithsonian for doing something the Tonys, Grammys, and Broadway in general, failed to do: appeciate two geniuses.

Guess it really does take rocket science to figure that out.

Looking forward to those instagram stories from the cast again. It’s been too long.

Yes yes yes! So happy to see this gem get more of the acclaim it so deserves!

(heck to the Tonys, Grammys, etc. etc. The Smithsonian knows where it's at!)
