Jesse continues to write think pieces that are not interesting.   And he also seems to think everyone is pondering these same sorts of questions.  They're not.   No one talks about the Times relationship to Broadway any more.  It's over.

He really does. I'm not sure what the point is.

I’m not sure he knows either!

It is completely valid for directors and their casts to have these conversations behind the closed doors of a rehearsal room, but a critic/journalist theorizing about the choices before seeing the productions doesn't make much sense to me.

Usually love Jesse, but this is just some interesting thoughts looking for a point.
