It's pretty cute! The editing was some of the best I've seen so far for this format of pandemic theatre.

Thank you I forgot all about this - I have seen the show live once in Australia many years ago and remember finding it particularly funny so curious to see how it translates! I'm surprised there isn't more buzz behind this given all the people involved - even Hillary Clinton seems to make an appearance!
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Ethan Slater is just so good and Betty should narrate everything! So many great performances. I thought it was hilarious. The magic of green screen.
