Amazing. Thanks so much!

Back to Sunset - any further traction on the rumor of the production going to LA after July?"

Last I heard from someone who seems to be in the know is that LA doesn't seem to be happening in July and that they're hoping to extend past July 6 in NY/ approaching some actresses about taking over.  
I think if it does go to LA for a limited engagement it would be the original cast or at least original leads - perhaps launching a tour or a pro-shot release

No offense to him, but Thaxton was one of my favorite things about it and I'd love to see him again. Will be waiting, I guess."

Just FYI, I went with a party of seven, and all of us thought Pierre Marais was superb as Max.

Just curious if you also have seen David Thaxton?

FWIW, I have seen both Shavey Brown and David Thaxton.  David is incomparable (I hope he's remembered at Tony time), but Shavey was really strong as well. I was very pleasantly surprised by his performance. 

I've also seen Sydney Jones as Betty (wonderful) and Jimin Moon as Joe (...less so).

Yes, I've also seen David Thaxton twice.

For those who love ''Sunset Blvd'' and can't get enough musical-theater history, I heartily recommend ''Boulevard! A Hollywood Story,'' Jeffrey Schwarz's delightful 2021 documentary about Gloria Swanson's efforts to turn ''Sunset Blvd'' into a musical many decades ago. And life even imitated art a little: Swanson had a crush on one of her writers (but he happened to be gay). You can rent it for a few bucks on YouTube, and it's worth it. Here's the trailer.
