So happy you got great lottery seats!"
Yes, with further consideration, I really did like the show but had reservations about it.
On a sad note, my friend and I went for dinner after the show and realized that we are among a small handful of the '72 production who are still around. A sobering fact, for sure.

At yesterday's matinee the orchestra section was packed but when I looked up to the mezz, I saw the middle section was full however the two sides were so empty you could have played kickball in them

Somewhat off-topic (and spoilerish for "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" ): Interesting use of Richard Burton's "How to Handle a Woman" in the new episode. I'm not quite sure how it was supposed to apply to the situation -- it didn't fit either Gordon/Hedy or Gordon/Midge -- but I liked hearing it, anyhow!

Saw this beautiful play last Wednesday during the matinee when Lea Michele called out for COVID. We were all pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the light comedy. Pippa Soo was also out, but her standby was solid. Jordan is the star and Burnap was also impressive. Overall, I'd give it 3 out of 4 stars.

I really enjoyed the show recently. I know this isn't the huge South Pacific or The King and I revival it perhaps intended to be but there are so many things working here. The orchestra, lighting, sound and costumes are absolutely exquisite. Phillipa Soo is always perfect, but never exciting. Andrew Burnap was bland and basically White Boy #489384939 for me. Jordan Donica (the only actor in this cast who deserved a Tony nomination) is a goddamn star. He was a star when he opened his mouth as Freddy and now an even bigger one as Lancelot. A thrilling performer.
It was a lovely evening but it's Lincoln Center, so that's almost a given considering the gorgeous location.

I was hospitalized or convalesing through MY FAIR LADY'S run. Did Doneca have that much hair when he played Freddy?

Agree with you on Philipa Soo. She sings perfectly but just doesn’t quite feel joyful like when Julia Andrews sings it. I think it’s more of a directoral choice, in making their relations more adversarial than joyous.
