Miscast 2023 last night was brilliant

We were asked to keep the songs secret but I can say Annaleigh Ashford and Josh Groban's miscast duet stole the show. Hilarious and brilliant.

Ben Platt opened the show singing a song from one of his favorite musicals - he jokes about how he loved to shine a spotlight on lesser known shows. Wink.

Bonnie Milligan closed the show with a thrilling vocal. I wish she had chosen a song from an original musical rather than a pop hit that happens to now be in a show.

Overall - A PLUS! A great evening

It really was a great night of music, as BETTY22 said. In addition to the performers mentioned Eleri Ward and Jordan E. Cooper were highlights for me, but there wasn't a clunker in the whole show.

There will be a stream of the show on 4/10, which is why they asked to keep the song selections a secret. There were a couple of fun surprises, and that's always a big part of the appeal to me.

There's a recap posted on one of the theater sites so I'm guessing its okay to talk about which songs were done. Jordan Donica has been out a lot for a preview period hasn't he? (I missed him in ITW because he was out sick for almost a week of the 2 week run) I heard Joy Woods was fantastic though.
