It just got 11 Tony Awards nominations, including Best Play, Best Director and four acting nods. Interestingly enough, Andrew Burnap received a nomination but Kyle Soller got nothing

I think that Kyle not being nominated is absolutely disgraceful.

The official YouTube channel of the play uploaded the moving final scene of Part 1.

Sadly no (I think) and they are probably regretting it now. Maybe they thought, this would have a long life on Broadway, which didn't happen, and they would have had something to sell as a stream during the pandemic. Pity really. |

It has been filmed but I don't think it will ever be released as I remember Matthew Lopez saying that he didn't like at all how it translated on screen. I really hope the show gets a future life in London at some point...

I loved this show especially part 1, part 2 wasn’t so good. However where it was loved here, it didn’t seem to have received the same acclaim in America.
As for a future life, it is a seven hour play, with a large cast. Also I wonder if the pro-Trump monologue would seem dated now?

I'm curious as to who played the "spirits" at the end of part one? Were they understudies/standbys?

Believe it was a mixture of understudies and supernumeraries (which is a fancy term for non-speaking extras, often these are only paid expenses or a minimum wage and do it for the credit/experience - although I don't think they even got a programme credit for this to save the surprise). |

And the performance I attended they sadly didn't even get a curtain call. Phantom I'm with you on favouring part 1 over the 2nd. I didn't think VR was the strongest and I wonder if this was a part of it? Or maybe my mind just wandered off after the 6th hour... |

I wonder if they got a curtain call/programme credit in New York? I imagine they did as the Actors Equity union over there is far more strict on those things. |
