Yurel Echezarreta is set to portray "The Player" I don't remember that character from the Broadway production. Any insight?
Incredible cast!!! Super excited for Shanice and Alaska.

this production is somehow an adaptation of the broadway production which already had an adapted book, bizarre
I was wondering about "the player"! I saw a regional production in San Francisco in 2019 and the script was basically the same as Broadway.
This sounds like a whole ass mess and I’m mad that I won’t get to see it. Maybe James Corden will invite them on to his show like he did with their “Little Shop” cast in 2019
Consider tickets purchased.
Great cast. I wonder if this production will trigger Jeff Whitty to start posting relentlessly again about his trauma related to this show.
I love this show so much, I can’t wait.
