The dynamics are very interesting because, he has the three main characters, in one apartment, each of them knows exactly who they are. Whereas across the backyard, we see an array of people, locked in despair or loneliness, each struggling to find themselves in the hard city.

Sleep with a migraine and experience bizarre dreams. My apartment had no wall behind a heavy drape. Mold creeped across the ceiling. A random pipe on a wall broke open and hissed. The landlord, around the corner, wouldn't help because she was having a posh party. Meghan Trainor was in attendance.

Oh, so there's a recording of Menzel? I'll have to look online for it. Or, maybe not. LM just doesn't have the chops to create an adult character for herself like Kuhn did. Kuhn is always phenomenal. She sang Svetlana at the benefit performance. Ramin Karimloo sang Anatoly.

The worst casting. When he did Kail's Sweeney Todd, he showed zero self-awareness. This is just the beginning. I expect Lea Michele to imitate Judy Kuhn note by note, as she did with Streisand in Funny Girl. I'm happy I saw the Actor's Fund Benefit concert version a few years back.
