One little quibble: in the second act, there are two songs that could easily be cut without damaging the show. Just a thought.

I had a similar thought, but I also thoroughly enjoyed all of the music and never felt it boring or self-gratuitous (even the two that I’m guessing you’re referring to). And with a run time of 2:15, it didn’t feel to me as though it weighed it down.

Elisa Galindez performed this evening and she was great!!! Saw a few members of the audience wearing a tshirt with hear face on it so I'm guessing she has a fan club! :)
From what I remember, I don't think they altered any of the choreography (Elisa was able to do the split during the dance in act 1.) Kudos to Elisa and I hope Tatianna is feeling better.

Me and the people I saw this with were SHOCKED that Elisa was an understudy - she was fantastic. Overall, one of the best new musicals of the season and a big surprise for me.
(Whoever decided to keep RWHC as the title of this deserves a stern talking to... "Make It Work" was right there!)

I’m seeing this tonight. Curious if Tatianna will be back. Must be tough to be out for a period during previews. Either way I’m looking forward to a totally new work.

Elisa is again on for Ana tonight.
Well, I’ll be. That bird really did it.

At the show tonight and they’ve stopped it in act 1 for technical difficulties. Gotta love live theatre

So the technical stop lasted about 15 mins and then they started up again. Not sure what the issue was but didn’t notice any other issues for the rest of the show. Overall I that it was good. A talented cast telling a story that is as relevant now as ever. A couple of understudies were on tonight. I agree there are a few songs that don’t advance the story and the role of Henry either needs to be explored further once all together. The ensemble doesn’t have much to do as the main women of the factory are the main ensemble. It took me till almost the end of act 1 to realize there were additional members of the ensemble. Overall I enjoyed it. It’s a fun night at the theatre and it’s refreshing to see fresh faces up on stage of all shapes and sizes. Do I think it will win a bunch of Tony Awards? Probably not but I hope it sticks around for a while

At the curtain call, Mariachi players came out and took a bow but I did not remember them appearing on stage during the show. Did I miss them? I know they were walking around the lobby before the show started.
