The big question mark here will be the Times. They were slow to review the production at the Lortel- it was published almost 3 weeks after opening- and ultimately (and oddly) had a non-theatre reviewer do it.

Variety:  ''It is unquestionably the funniest, gayest, campiest play Broadway has seen in years. To borrow from the play itself, it is ”one hell of a night at the theater.”

Stars have been a thing for a while. The problem is some people do out of four stars, some are out of five, so it can be confusing.

The only quibbles I have read are comparisons with the "subtlety" of Charles Busch and others.

Love this description of Ricamora's Lincoln from Sara Holden's Vulture review:

"He’s Joe Pitt in wolf’s clothing and a stovepipe hat."

Aren't they supposed to announce an extension soon? Or announce that this will be an open run?
