Wow...did NOT see that coming. Kind of inspired casting. If this wasn't a sell-out already, it suddenly became the (...second) hottest Summer ticket in New York.

According to Playbill, they are adding a third performance (a matinee on July 2) to accommodate the expected demand.

^HA!
Wonder if this will engender more Jake love among Tony voters for his performance in Constellations. Best male lead is going to be one of the biggest nail bitters of the season.

I'm excited to see Gyllenhaal, but Taran Killam is INSPIRED casting.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I don't think anyone saw this coming.
Taran Killam is pretty amazing casting.

I love Ellen, but the May/December thing is gonna be distracting.
She's more than twice his age.

She's the reason they're doing this concert, though.

What's more distracting is that Jake Gyllenhaal is playing a nebbishy, meek schlemiel.
He's gonna be the beefiest, hottest Seymour ever.

That's some Harold and Maude sh*t happenin up in there!
You could actually switch Gyllenhaal and Killam and it would still be terrific casting.
I have a such a worrying crush on Killam.

Y'all need to shut your ass faces up. This is the most important thing to ever happen in the history of the american musical theater.

Word!
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
