saw the show at the mark taper forum and thought it was close to brillant - and robin williams is inspired casting - casting to match the brillance of the piece

some random questions...
- how did broadway.com have this information first? wouldnt this info find bigger placement directly at playbill.com or even deadline.com?

I would imagine they're looking at a nice sized theater. Music Box?? Belasco?? Schoenfeld??
