I was not there, but I assume that he would've been. I was at the first preview back in December and he was in the audience then with his partner.

Today's Broadway Briefing mentioned there was a table reserved for him at the after party. Possible he just went to that, but I would imagine he attended the performance as well.

I'm happy to hear that, it must mean he's recovering steadily from his fall.
Even if he hated the production as much as Be More Chill, there was no intermission for him to walk out during! Hahaha- only joking.

You can only 'walk out' of a show during the actual performance.
You 'leave' at intermission, choosing not to return--for whatever reason[ref. HH].
Self edited, inept wording.

And one cannot conclude from a walkout or a not-return that the person hated the show. I have left before the end of maybe 3 shows in my life on the ground that I hated it. I have left more than that because I did not feel well or some other totally external reason.

This version doesn't have an intermission, it runs 1:45.

Posted: 2/22/20 at 12:12pmIn the 60 Minutes Interview he seems invigorated by this revival. He’s probably seen it many times. Maybe he just went to the party.

has he customarily sat through opening nights? A lot of folks don't.I assume someone here will know.

Posted: 2/22/20 at 2:26pmI don’t know about the performance, but he was definitely at the after party. Sat most of the time and had a cane with him, but looked well.
