Doing this number without a staircase is like visiting Paris without the Eifel Tower

George Gershwin was such a genius . And to die at only 38 years old, how tragic .

Haydn Oakley is INSANE

[@jackiehawley1591]

Fantastic. I'm full.of admiration.

Great number. Who's the guy? I watched an excerpt on CZcams from "Holiday Inn" and he caught my eye immediately and I pointed him out to my amateur actors/dancers as an example of audiences paying to see them have fun on stage. I've seen too many professional Broadway productions in which the performers were just going through the motions, some even visibly counting. This guy is genuine.

How the F can they try to do this WITHOUT A STAIRCASE?! lost opportunity

[@KatieLHall-fy1hw]

Agree, but i still like the sets they use overall in this show

[@andredarin8966]

How can they sing “0ld Man River” without a river or “Mariah” without any wind?

[@randolphpinkle4482]

I was wondering how they'd do this song without someone like Guetary to carry the tune. Not even close, but at least it's a solution.

[@zackstark24601]

I like it But I Prefer the Original Broadway Cast

[@parousia2]

Sorry but this is a terrible version

[@andredarin8966]

Would it kill you to say “In my opinion… .”?
