This whole show from the get go has been a big They have been struggling w preproduction elements - a lot - but they have an amazingly skilled team. The venue is a challenge in many ways. If anyone can work it out this group can, but there’s also the gap between the production that was envisioned for almost a year and casting that doesn’t mesh well w that vision - w added pressure of short timeline. It’s a bit like rebuilding an airplane in flight. The most fraught productions often turn out really great - that panic energy, but fair to say there’s more anxiety than usual and a lot of focus is on nailing down technical production, while sub teams work to ensure all else will fall to script. Often, parts of the team are sorry it’s one and done - so far, not so much. (As for the promo, this is an angle that was not part of the original vision. And Dixon has everyone’s respect, esp since he brings production experience, and if anyone can overcome being somewhat miscast...Same w Sara to certain extent.) Following Bway twitter it’s rather quiet on JCSL! People hope for the best and maybe it will all gel Although this whole thing may turn out all right, I agree with those who are glad that Adam is not a part of it. Hope he gets his chance to play Judas sometime. He'd be GREAT!

It looks like Adam is making up for lost time in the partying department. He looks very bleary-eyed to say the least. Hope he got a ride home.

WTF with this production?!!!!!!! Still no Judas/Brandon. Do you think it's because Brandon is relatively an unknown? Would Adam have gotten included in the promo, if he were Judas? Or is this just the way it was always going to be, no matter who had the part? I mean Judas IS major!! My bet is this is how it would have been no matter who was signed to play Judas. Credits are by contract -- and the contracts with the big 3 were signed first. Renegotiating those deals would have been out of the question. Plus, 4 stars in main credits is too many. Alice Cooper "should" have been offered a featuring credit. Looks like they believe featuring Alice Cooper will help build an audience for this TV program. I continue to be relieved that Adam is not in this and that I do not "have to" watch it. All in all, Judas is usually the #2 credited role and the vocal showcase part. Clearly, that is not the plan. And that seems likely why Adam is not in this. There is no chance he would have or should have done this without a main credit.

I guess John legend’s desire to be the king overpowered all other considerations... As far as singing quality is concerned I imagine any respectable Broadway singer will outdo anything John Legend can produce vocally anyway... so there is that ....

Startled for sure but I wouldn't say scared, she saw the money so it was the face which he made sure she saw. Recognition and maybe almost broke out of character?

Brandon was pretty big in Hamilton and has an extensive Broadway resume, looks like they would play that up a bit at least in some of the promo. “And featuring ...” type hype. Odd, odd, odd.
