Great criticism and this is a great idea for a YouTube channel. Can't wait to see more.

This play is amazing! The music is fabulous! The actors singing and dancing are very talented! I'm thinking it could very well become a film one day.

I think you are becoming my favorite Broadway reviewer. I love your frankness and ability to disect a show in an easy to understand manner.

Just one point. Beams are horizontal structural members and posts are vertical ones that support the beams. The ones you are addressing are posts.

100% agree, uncanny, I was just thinking about the show yesterday, trying to figure out, and these are basically all the points I was wrestling with. Thank you for verbalizing it so well!

You're reading too much into this, lol. The characters are an afterthought to the vibes.
