That's amazing.
It's really wild.
Wow.
But that production...
was i don't know i just had never seen a thing do what it did with musical theater which up until that point was like a very specific kind of jazz hands thing i couldn't believe i got to be there it felt like naughty in a perfect way and it's studio 54 has always been my favorite theater um so yeah the serendipity is bonkers

Yeah.
