Methinks we’re about to see a double-nomination season for Miss Rogers…

DTLI Consensus: Straight A's all around for this fiercely funny, Ghanaian twist on the mean-girl and high school clique tropes.

"When did we first hear the term “chick flick”? Wikipedia suggests it was probably sometime in the late 1980s when movies like “Dirty Dancing,” “Beaches,” “Steel Magnolias” and “When Harry Met Sally” flooded the market."
Yeah, Hofler is a hack who should be fired.

This man seems to be simply put, stupid. It requires some very advance shallowness and daftness to misunderstand the ideas of this play in a way he did. God, how do people like him get hired to write?

84 on Broadway Scorecard, critical gold. Must-see.
"Critics praise Bioh's sharp comedy as uproariously funny and heartbreaking, with White's exuberant direction elevating a familiar mean-girl premise through rich characters and biting dialogue, though some find the narrative predictable."

This deserves all the praise it's getting. I hope it's remembered come awards season!

Yeah, he's an embarrassment to the profession.

Anyone going to see Jocelyn tonight as Eloise?

I caught the matinee yesterday. I'd previously seen a regional production where I came away liking the play but feeling it hadn't been well served. I'm so happy this revival fires on all cylinders. Whitney White's direction is impeccable, and Qween Jean should clear another spot on her mantle for her next Tony. Cody Spencer's sound design is superb and is a lesson in how to amplify a play without making the speech sound distorted. What a cast! Onyi Aba was on for Nana and was excellent. Denée Benton (playing fabulously against type) and Patina Miller should be remembered come awards season. And Jasmine Amy Rogers proves again that she's one of the most versatile young performers in New York. It's so exciting to have the season's first must-see production come so soon.

Just wondering if folks have experienced Amy Jasmine Rogers missing performances. I’ve seen 3 shows she has been in (Boop, Spelling Bee and (last night) School Girls), and she has been out for all three.
