Is this the first administration without any of the original cast (in principal roles)? Interested to hear about tonight!

Guessing they did a run through last night to get these pictures? They also did one on Friday in the afternoon w/Jackie Sanders and Sean Forte joining them.

If you are counting the understudies, then you would be correct. (Martin was a late addition to the Broadway cast as an understudy.)

As for tonight - this was not like Jinkx Monsoon’s first show where she was hot and ready out of the gate and everyone else had to catch the speeding train. It was a lot more measured, but nevertheless absolutely hilarious.

Jane, no surprise, fits like a glove into this role. She has the doe-eyed naïveté and the steely grande dame energy in equal measure and deploys it efficiently. She did go up on a couple lines (which unless you know the play, you wouldn’t have caught). I definitely think she has the opportunity to go a little bit broader into the comedy and a little less wink-and-nod fourth wall gazing toward the audience. But even as she works her way into the role further, it’s a not-miss performance.

John-Andrew was not the festering closet case like Conrad or the slick code-switcher like Phillip. He’s very much horny from the outset like Kumail was and has that extra layer of *flair* to his affect that makes his interactions with Martin quite hilarious. He has amazing chemistry with Jane.

Cheyenne definitely came in looking like he fell out of Wicked in those Fiyero pants. He falls squarely between James and Michael in that he is very collected and suave - not very nervy - but then goes for the full queen breakdown during the bar scene (though not as broad as Urie). As always, room to grow but definitely pretty good right out of the gate. Of all the Booths, he is definitely the one I most believe would make Mary go “f***”

Jane’s delivery of “LOUISE WANTS TO RUB ICE CREAM ON HER P***Y” is absolutely priceless and the night was worth it for that alone.
