This is a pretty great show for a nice night in the town. The set is quite clever and I think serves the show well. The music for the Douglas character is significantly better written than Robin, IMO. And his story is also better. It helps that Tutty is an absolute firecracker of a performer. I liked Pitts but I think Robin's story doesn't take off till we are 40 minutes in, and by then it's too late. As an audience member, I don't care nearly as much about her anymore. Unless they add a couple more layers to her story too, I don't see it lasting very long on Broadway. But I do wish it the absolute best, I think these performers deserve it and the show definitely has legs.


Caption: Every so often there was a rare moment of perfect balance when I soared above him.

This show has zero chance of making in on Broadway. It's a shame that ART did not bring in the true piece of art, Passing Strange instead."

Was trying to figure out what this replaced on their schedule, a bummer because they production was suppose to be excellent/aiming for Broadway

I saw the show in London and I think I know what you are referring to. I was shocked and had to question myself if it really happened as it does change how one thinks about one of the characters in the show. I was hoping they'd change it once it comes to the USA but I guess they didn't.

As someone who has worked in customer service before, I know what it's like to say "what'll it be?" to strangers and keep up a face. That song really hit me emotionally.
