      Yes, and…the house audio was ducked. In the theatre you couldn't hear anything after "look who's back in New York City". If anything it was getting louder while the video here has to avoid clipping. Really powerful energy in there!

      Professional quality recordings (just filming with one camera straight on like the Phantom of the Opera broadcast) are industry standard. To keep a long story short, bureaucratic nonsense about who owns and has the right to distribute what is the main the reason for them never going public. People forget that Broadway knows that proshots don’t decrease attendance, there is a streaming platform for them after all. It’s just bullshit over contracts

      I know! Alex is such a great actor.
      Personally, and I don’t know if this will ever happen, but if the first Kung Fu Panda ever gets adapted into a musical on Broadway, I think Alex would make a great Po!
      Even though I’ve never seen the School of Rock musical, I heard he played the role of Dewey Finn really well. So I think him playing another Jack Black character would really suit him well, especially one that’s a dorky, kung fu fanboy. Plus, Alex Brightman has such a loveable and energetic personality that I think he’s perfectly suited to play a panda. Lol.
      And man, can you imagine hearing him sing Kung Fu Fighting? It would absolutely kick ass! 😁

    the amount of excitement right after the first line was just said to which Alex glanced to probably the stage managers for help and raised his hand (which made it seem funnier to me) 🤣 people say the excitement in pre-pandemic shows happen after he puts the newspaper down 😆
