The line from the movie is "How about Cleveland."
The line does not appear in the staged production.

Wow. In most Broadway musicals I have attended, there is movement, gestured poses, disciplined breathing after a choreographed sequence, and poise.

The trans controversy with Tootsie is like the umbrella controversy in Hadestown or the cheesecake controversy at a Juniors. Much ado about nothing.
A great book and a solid cast. I recommend Tootsie.

I skipped Last Ship and Amazing Grace - did not appeal to me.
Lyric, book, and scene changes are fascinating. The cast album for The Goodbye Girl refers to Shirley Temple on a bender. During the 6-weeks in Chicago, the lyric was always Carol Channing on a bender.

In Chicago, some nosebleed seats dropped to $9 an hour before showtime on StubHub.
There were several outer stratosphere seats available for $20-$25 on StubHub all day long.
Several patrons lucked out with upgraded seats at the door, as several rows in the uppermost parts of the United Center were covered with dark gray fabric. It looked like that decision was made as the concert date drew near.
I sat in the top row near the two spotlight operators.
