With all due respect, you had much time to get up and walk out.

I'm sorry you are in the minority here, also a different time frame; but I DID leave. You are not alone.

​@@ciampoohDid you see it in Los Angeles or New York? It's a provocative, emotional, difficult show. Not entirely sure how I felt about it, but also, it's so intensely personal to the writers' experience that I'm not sure anyone else's critique matters.

@@AllAmericanJock I get that, I can appreciate that take. If I had employed that purview I might have been able to endure, but alas minus that - it was just filthy potty mouth almost daring you to IDK disagree ? my response was/is The Emperor has no clothes. I wasted my time in L A . Thanks for your comment.

This is a mashup of the opening two songs, so some of the more explicit lyrics were edited out.

I really wish they had done either the full OPENING, not a mashup, OR Tyler Perry Writes Real Life

@@neilwaldock6272I have no idea what this has to do with anything I said, but yes it is

I hear they were in talks with Netflix

Same ! I caught it closing night and SOOO. Glad i did it

Oh, thank you, Carl! It was a wonderful day.

Did you like it

the silence is deafening.....

@@miker35591 no it was pretty bad

IKR! I seen it last night

@@bladeowens ME TOO

I never got to see it :( I wish it was recorded somewhere

If Broadway were an ideal world and a mecca for inclusion this show would have lasted as long as The Phantom Of The Opera lasts and all the boring white tourist shows would close every month.

James Jackson Jr is hilarious! In any other show, he'd have been the featured actor Tony nominee. If you haven't seen this show, please make it your business to get to the Lyceum Theater asap (discounts & rush tickets are available, which is how I've justified seeing it many, many times)

@E Of course the Tony Awards performance (and all the late-night/other TV performances) can't do this show justice. Aside from the fact that they had to re-write the lyrics so standards & practices would let them perform, in less than 4 minutes they had to get rid of (the f-word, n-word, "asshole", & the anti-gay f-word, not to mention some other anti-black phrases) the show really gets into it (hunny) after these songs (Intermisssion Song & Today) are over. I've lost count of how many times I've seen the show, but I discover new aspects to enjoy every single time. Michael R Jackson is a genius.

This show is not for everyone, that's why I find a safe place in your fandom :)

@Adam Efimoff just not interested in this bs making seem like all gay men are flaming queens..

@@aderiusscott2220 I would recommend you watch the whole show before making that statement if that is your main hangup.

Aderius Scott It has so many gay men working on this piece, I think they did a better job of gay representation than just making it seem like all of them are flaming queens. But of course the first song all about being a fat effeminate black gay man will make it seem a little more like that.

Try the other songs. I didn’t like this song so I didn’t look it up, but the other ones that are darker are actually catchier!

They usually remove the performance of the one that won Best Musical.

@@helenejapa out of curiosity why do you think they do that for?

​@@eddieking4621 encourages folks to go see the show and not bootlong songs

she must have the money

the best musical Tony is awarded to the producer, so she's the one who gets to give the speech. Michael R Jackson got to give a speech earlier in the night when he won Best Book

Indeed!
