I don’t think I would have realized how true the story is (although I didn’t buy the program so maybe it is clear in that) and I don’t think I would have been following the plot as well. It is a bit ruined since they build suspense on what is going to happen before revealing it. The British are probably more familiar with the story.
It has that Come From Away feel—small show with fast pace and multiple parts. But it needs a small theater on broadway.
I didn’t realize I saw the replacement cast or that they switch roles regularly.
