I finally got around to reading the script, and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get to see this on Broadway. I did have one question for someone who saw the Broadway production:
How did they stage the scene where Adam and Leo meet, if they're played by the same actor?

I saw the play twice and don’t recall this happening. I could certainly be wrong though.

What page are you looking at in the script?

Act Two, Scene Four of Part 2, page 87 of the Dramatists Play Service script.

I don’t know if you ever got your answer, but I just saw this in Los Angeles (fantastic, not to be missed!) and
this is truly a remarkable scene. One actor indeed plays both roles when the characters intersect, simply by changing his facial expressions, body language, and voice. He shifts rapidly between the two, but it is always very clear who is talking at any one time, partly from the context of the text, but mostly from his portrayals. He doesn’t even need to change position to suggest one character or the other. Much of the scene is performed facing forward towards the audience.

I have a very vague recollection on this but I’m slightly reminded that he was perhaps wearing a hoodie and would maybe tun upstage and drop the hood. Or maybe I’m crazy.

This is exactly what happened in the Broadway production as well. One actor standing center stage, facing out at the audience. It is one of the moments (of MANY) seared into my brain from this shatteringly brilliant day of theater.

After that moment, I was honestly shocked he was not the frontrunner for the Tony from that play.
