I saw this brilliant show last night, and it was completely packed. I immediately noticed the diversity of the audience, and it truly excited me. Producers on Broadway have ignored BIPOC forever, people who want to see shows they can relate to and have actors on stage that resemble them. This Broadway season producers realized not just white people want to spend money on theater. What a concept!
The crowd was lively, joyous, and genuinely seemed so grateful that a show like this finally made it to a Broadway stage.
It was funny, heartbreaking, exceptional, smart, and uncomfortable. And that's a good thing. To have these kinds of conversations is vital in today's world, even though sometimes it can cause you to want to look away.
This is work of art and every single man on that stage gives everything they have and they are ALL so talented and perfectly cast in their roles.
This is a can't miss show, for everyone.
