It's not as grungy/rough sounding (the original album was hardly what I would call a "flawless" experiment of sound mixing), but it's very much a rock musical. Both the overture and act 2 entrance music made me literally jump (and drop by program) because it was SO loud and SO sudden
I caught the show on Tuesday. The stage is indeed quite high but a lot of the actual action is downstage and there's really nothing happening on the floor apart from highly repetitive group choreography and one small scene (which is pivotal but you don't need to see what's happening to know it's happening unless you're a pervert).
The book is quite strong plot wise. Dialogue is fantastic too, imo. Humor flowed pretty smoothly and it really did not feel like a jukebo
This is really not that different from reddit's doxxxing etiquette. I agree that transparency is an issue we have been talking about a lot on BWW, but I think perception of the problem is higher than the actual problem itself. I don't want to blame Alan/other moderators alone for "smart colorful people" leaving. If they left - they left to go somewhere else, probably.

Children Of A Lesser God is limited run, scheduled to close on 9th September 2018. I think there's enough time between it's closing and this opening that there can be another limited run (holiday concert?) which can sneak in.

I’d love to see (Just a) Simple Sponge, introduced by Brendon Urie. It’s quite an anthem, and I think it will appeal to kids and adults. It will sell tickets. Plus, I love it.
Even better, have Lady Antebellum,TI, Cyndi Lauper, Brendon, John Legend, etc. introduce their respective songs, with the cast getting into position for each then the next writer comes out and the cas

Is Hedwig trans? I don't they ever explicitly identify whether Hedwig wanted to actually transition or just did it for the visa

How awesome would it be to have Bernadette Peters (Hello Dolly), Taylor Trensch (Dear Evan Hansen), Brandon Victor Dixon (Hamilton), Sara Bareilles (Waitress) competing against each other."
To me, the notionof a Best Replacement Tony undermines the new creative development that an actor takes on when th
