Since the Times article said the show will most likely be stopped at points this evening, I am betting 3 1/2 hours. Running time is supposed to be 2 1/2 hours.
I am standing on the ticketholders line. It is showtime and the line is still all the way down the block! I can't wait! Will report back at intermission.

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)

I'm guessing it'll run closer to 4 hours. There's so much going on with the set that I'm predicting multiple Little Mermaid-like raise the lights and apologize to the audience moments. The difference is this is a preview performance where that was well into the show's run.

So the first technical problem of the night is...the doors to the theatre won't open?
I was hoping the show curtain wouldn't have the title on it, but it's very nice otherwise.

I love technology. This is hilarious. That photo of the show curtain is among the best quality I think we've ever had uploaded on this forum - and it comes before the first performance has even started LOL.

I'm seeing this Wednesday night, second performance (and the first one with discounts). I can only imagine why the need a three day gap to work things out.
