Yours is a complicated question with a deserved long and nuanced answer. I'll get to that tomorrow. But I'm tired now and so I'll say... yes the production is aware of all of it, there are conflicting thoughts within the production about this. The audience has varied expectations but so far it's been largely copessetic. There have been serious outliers.

Sam (the director) is a genius and an angel and he's taking all of this seriously as an artist and a fan and he's very thoughtful about the whole thing. So far, what he's done to address it has been encouraging.

So, it's like most of his other performances?
