The PBS Broadcast didn't do the show justice. The Broadway revival was incredible and every single performance was brilliant. You had to the be there to fully appreciate it. A broadcast rarely makes a show look at good as it truly is.
This tour was bizarre from the start, especially the two month stop in CA, considering the entire tour is four months. Glad the show is tightening up.
The donation for the signed window card was $60. The donation for the tote was $20. They also have an apron for $20, I believe.
I have been listening to the OBCR from the revival during my long layover in Atlanta. It never fails to surprise me how much more vibrant a cast recording sounds after you’ve actually seen a stage version.

The whole cast was firing on all cylinders, including Thatcher Jacobs as Jason. I was crying so much at the end that the woman next to me patted my knee to comfort me. I have to get up in less than 3 hours to catch my early flight home so I’ll try to keep this short. Eden Espinosa, Max Von Essen, Nick Adams and Nick Blaemire were just phenomenal. Someone said they felt some of them were walking through their roles earlier in the run. That couldn’t have been further from the truth tonight. In fact, Nick and Max did the curtain call plea for Broadway Cares and Max had to stop talking momentarily because he was overcome with emotion. He says it was the first time they had given the Broadway Cares plea after the show.
I have to admit my first exposure to the show was the PBS broadcast of the revival and I was slightly underwhelmed by it. Tonight the show came totally alive for me. I went crazy at the merch booth. Before the show I bought the mug, magnet and keychain. At intermission, I bought the grey t-shirt with the rainbow and “love can tell a million stories.” I also bought the 2-CD OBCR. I already have it in my Apple Music library, but I felt like I needed a physical copy of it. After the show I also made a donation to Broadway Cares in exchange for a signed window card and a tote bag."
I had a similar reaction when I saw the show on Broadway. I pretty much was full on sobbing by the curtain call. It took me by surprise how overcome with emotion I was
