Read it fine when it appeared in my Google feed. Tried off the link I provided. No paywall.

No paywall for me, either.

That publicity release reminds me of a Happy Days episode where Marion was so excited that her theater group was doing Oklahoma!, and someone said, "But you Oklahoma! every year." And she replied, "Yes, but this year onstage we'll have real chickens!"

I’d rather see it in a black box with no set than with 3D digital backdrops.

No mention of who is actually performing in the show but a full page photo of the guy doing marketing?

So, the Milton Theatre seats 250 and is the size of a Starbucks. Quite an ambitious undertaking for such a small production.

I feel like sometimes I was the only person who loved the Ivo van Hove directed revival a few years back. I wish it had re-opened after Covid

It wasn't perfect but I'm a strong defender of it for the vision
