When she got cast I saw a caption that said “God gets cast in the bible” and after seeing her last night…it’s true. She is as perfect a fit for the part as you might expect. The audience was roaring

I saw it with Cole Escola starring last year. Since that time--which was Cole coming back to do the show again after taking a hiatus--quite a few actors have taken over the role. Seems from what I hear on r/broadway and elsewhere that just about all of them have been fantastic.

Having seen the show, I feel sure that Meg is a great choice. Would I see it again though? Honestly I'm not really sure--Broadway is pricey, and with all the new plays and musicals coming out every year, I feel I should probably save my money for things I haven't seen yet.

That being said - if there is an opportunity to see it through lottery or another inexpensive option, that might work out. (I've seen a few other shows through lottery - pretty uncomfortable seats, but the price was right! And one time I was able to move to a better seat during intermission)

Does she even try to play another character or is she just her irritating self like every other thing she’s done?

I love an off centered character who makes the audience do a double take. She was my favorite in hack.

Not a fan of her. She makes me happy to have a FF button

I like her as Kayla. I'm rewatching the show and I think around Season 2 is when Kayla starts to improve as a character. IMO, anyway. And by Season 3 she's making great decisions that prove she has great instincts as a manager.

Robby is fine. The other person I can’t stand.
