It was a regular reading but the talent was exceptional, and they had a full band which was a treat!
There was movement in the form of shuffling around seats after each scene and reading their parts together while facing each other. Some other random examples: Jelani as Roy fully unbuttoned his shirt during his scene with Bruce, Izzy and Caitlin fully made out before Changing my Major, Jenn Colella stayed in a podium in the back center during the whole show until before Telephone Wire when she came down for the scene and song with Bruce. The minor staging was effective specially during the final scenes where little by little all the cast members left the room after they were done with their songs (before the finale) and it was just Will and Jenn on stage, then Will left and Jenn remained alone for her line “I’m the only one here”.
I honestly forgot we were in a funeral home throughout the show as it was not used in any way specifically, I thought we’d see a coffin or something grim, but it was just a performance space with this reading. Potato quality photo below.
