The Distinctive Baritone said: "Scott and Christopher are supremely talented, but having Seymour and Audrey be in their 40's/50's is an odd choice."


I mean, I thought Rob McClure was pitch perfect in the role and he’s 42, Nicholas Christopher is only, what, 34?

Not sure about the “waiting for you” but “not until tomorrow” could be Last Five Years.

I wonder who is going to play the role for the next month while Christopher is still in Hamilton.

That Robert Downey Jr draw is going to be a big number when they do 8 performances.

NYT: Benj Pasek and Justin Paul Join the EGOT Club. What Does That Mean?

If he gives good performances and isn’t hurting anyone with his process, what can you possibly care? So he uses an ear piece, what does it matter?

I have absolutely no doubt that he is wearing an ear piece. He uses them for his films as well.

LOL. No posted comments mere hours after the first preview ended doesn't mean no one here saw it.

I mean, it is surprising.

That seems pretty late for the new cast announcement.

For what it’s worth, the email I received today from MTC/30 under 35 says:
