It’s a good show but it’s not a broadway show. As cool as it would be to have a show like this on broadway I don’t think broadway audiences would pay for it.
No, after Lortel I want the rights to be released immediately so talented black actresses in local communities/colleges/high schools have the chance to work on this fantastic play.
this is one of the best shows i saw last year, and fyi a transfer is in the cards for the spring "it wont find an audience on broadway" thats why its coming back for an encore run and most of the cast is going with it to LA, some of you folks drive me crazy sometime
I enjoyed this show a lot, and I wish them nothing but the best! But yeah, I don't see this going to Broadway either. Not only do I worry about its commercial prospects (although admittedly the running cost would be very low) - I just don't think it needs to. Not every good play needs to run on Broadway; that isn't the ultimate measure of success. Two runs at MCC, a run in LA, a special Drama Desk for the cast, and likely a healthy licensing future, are not things to scoff at. In fact, I would argue that those achievements are more significant than a short run on Broadway and a couple of Tony nominations
If I'm wrong, and it does go to Broadway, I'll be very happy for them. Like I said, I wish them nothing but the best!
OMG, this was SOOOOO good. Roaringly funny and deeply engrossing with a powerful message at the end. The cast fits like a glove and the play itself runs a brisk and breezy 75 minutes. If someone was between seeing this and Mean Girls on Broadway, I'd go with this one in a heartbeat.
See this before it closes at the end of the month!

there was a plan to transfer it last season and it feel apart, probably no chance of it happening atleast not with the original cast (one girl is gonna be on some NBC show I think)
Thank you for posting this! I have been out of the PBS loop for a while. I just sat and watched it. Just as good the second time around. It was beautifully filmed also.
When I was sharing it with a family member via text, it asked for my location. I denied turning location on and it said it was only available here in the PBS local area. I watched it on my Chromebook ans I guess my location is turned on.
