Thrilled to see him back onstage after MJ, even if this feels like it's been kicking around for a decade now. Hope they got it right this time. Anyone going? Thinking about making the trip.

This role is definitely a hard pivot from MJ, so I appreciate the boldness in his choice of role for his stage return. These golden age musicals tend to require strong male dancers, and so if he’s anything like his MJ contemporary Aramie Payton was in After Midnight (Papermill), he should be fine.

I know the City Center production (which I presume this is a further modification of) was a critical bust, so I hope that time was spent well in improving those issues.

Definitely going to the Arena Stage - can't beat the Rodgers & Hart songbook and the choreo will be fantastic. Myles is a superb choice to lead. I'm looking forward to this coming to Broadway more than just about anything else.
