Caught this last night via lottery win and got to see both Austin and Phoenix. My worries of missing both leads were relieved as soon as the show started. I thought both hit on all cylinders. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this. The score is strong and set it used in a very creative way. I am more cold on the book. The first act was nearly perfect but act two got slow in too many places. 

Not that anyone cares, but seeing both this and Lost Boys in the same day really left me wondering how Best Musical is going to play out. I had a great time at Two Strangers and certainly think the score is stronger based on first listen, but I feel like Lost Boys is achieving more overall. Not to even mention Schmigadoon that I wasn’t able to catch.

Austin is a phenomenal talent   I saw him off-Broadway in Fixing Frankie — in his blue Calvin Klein briefs— and he was amazing
