I didn’t know about it and am not sure I’ll be available to view it but I’m going to try. Just wondering: it says on the site “Pre-Recorded Stream”... so how do they do the ending of the show? Did they just pick a ‘winner’ in advance for how the various few plot threads are resolved? Or (as much as you can indicate without spoilers) does the viewing audience actually have some ‘vote’ at all in how the show turns out?
I’m fascinated in this as a streaming choice... some shows translate to home viewing better than others, but at least nearly all of them are more or less 100% written!- this one, simply because of the huge cast and especially the audience participation/interaction, would seem on the surface like possibly the craziest choice to stream for a socially distanced at-home viewing audience ... unless it’s not. What’s the best explanation/sales pitch you can give (without feeling like you’re giving anything away)?

I was kind of hoping the voted-upon songs might be performed live from the students' apartments, but I guess to try match accompaniment and performer would have been a potential nightmare.

The whole thing was remarkably well-done!

Yes, very well-done. (Has anyone besides Seth Rudetsky, with his Sunday night concerts, managed to keep performer and accompaniment in sync while in different venues?)
