Signed up for the Q&A. I was fascinated with this show when it played in SF, but I couldn't make it out to see it. I can't wait to finally see this.

Was surprised to find this announcement, especially from St. Ann's, whose artistic decisions I usually love, as I'd probably say this is the worst play I've seen on Broadway. I will say I could see it working better as a radio play-type presentation, which IIRC is a form it's taken somewhat in the past.

It's crazy to think that this is the worst play you've seen on Broadway. I thought it was absolutely incredible.

I remember the reactions at the time being very polarized – folks either thought it was the best thing in years, or the emperor's new clothes. I was very excited to see it, but ended up falling into the latter camp.

Still, it's a good thing that more folks get to experience it now. Hopefully they'll feel more like you did!

one of the most boring podcasts I have ever seen live, I slept through chunks of it, the only cool thing was the lighting effect that made the wall seem like it was pulsing (similar to the time travel light effect in Harry Potter) and when he destroyed the table with (a hammer?) toward the very end
