You can tell from this show alone how much Malloy likes to include the audience in his works, I love him so much

[meganhash]

IM SUCH A SIMP FOR DAVE MALLOY YOU GUYS

[janeseymour]

literally what goes through dave malloy’s mind to create this music? not that i’m complaining but? are we sure dave malloy is on the same dimension as us?

[celestelalianna]

omg I love how even the audience who isn't even brought on stage are still cheering and raising their arms up during the end! you can really see how engaged they are.

Being in one of those boats was one of the only highlights of my 2020 😭❤️. Glad they didn’t get the video of the night I was there, though, was basically fangirling out the whole time.

[rachelf]

This was my daily reminder that Dave Malloy deserves a lot more attention and respect for his music than he gets.
Also my daily sob sesh over Great Comet closing before I ever had a chance to see it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[keiradickson]

i really hear ghost quartet/great comet in ishmael’s part. this show is so good!!!!

[nsiderultimaseth]

Honestly I would never have conceived the idea of a Moby Dick musical myself, but it's such a PERFECT book for the medium. I would love the chance to see this live sometime. I hope it comes back!

[jennyhanrahan]

and the whale screams out
and the pusher screams out

[celestelalianna]

All I want is to see more footage of this or at least a recorded I love Dave Malloy and this cast so much. Seeing Starr and Nick was so cool, they have such gorgeous voices!! Also I swear I recognize the person singing with the pipe in their mouth, but it might not be who I think it is.

[waverly]

DAVE STRIKES AGAIN this sounds so GOOD and ofc i love my homegirl rachel chavkin and her flavor

[saturniidace]

ITS BEEN LONG SINCE IVE SEEN THE NAME DAVE MALLOY BUT GOD DO I WELCOME IT

[keythirteen]

I have watched this over five times today and I should go stark searing mad if I don’t eat whale steak tonight.

[acemoss]

I saw one of the last performances of this show in January and honestly my 2020 peaked w that experience

[MubeenChaudhary-tt]

Amazing. The actor really captures stubbs essence. Love the ishmael one too.

[perdomdoms]

i will give my left kidney for a cast recording

[notcarlie]

It took me a while to realize the people in the boats were AUDIENCE MEMBERS!!!

[livvy]

The freaking slot machine sounds at the end are the hilarious icing on the cake. I hope I get to see this show someday

[awesomemixvol.]

I was lucky enough to see this and get to ride around in those boats!!! Hands down favorite theatre experience ever tied with Great Comet on Bway!!! plz bring Moby Dick to Bway when everything reopens!
