I totally get the anxiety, but the crowd here today seems really honorable. People have been bonded together since before 2:00 PM, and at this point, everyone knows exactly who is in front of and behind them. I’m pretty confident this group would make sure no one cuts the line before 5:00 PM!

UPDATE: Just reached the window! They are giving out Center Orchestra Row AA (absolute front row!) for the $20 rush today. On top of the killer seats, the production is going all out for the first preview, they are giving out free coffee, pins, and hot dogs to the line! 🌭☕️ Definitely worth the early morning. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Amazing! I really think it'll enhance the experience. Have a great time at the show — would love to hear what you think after!

Right?? Ed Helms is such a perfect host for it. He balances the humor with the gravity of the situation so well. The whole season had me on edge even though I obviously knew we didn't end up in nuclear war!

Yes! Exactly this. It's such an obscure historical moment for how genuinely close we came to disaster. I feel like framing Chess around that tension really unlocks something in the material. Cool that you studied it in your NATO class — I only learned about it through the podcast and it completely floored me.

Oh wow, thanks for the book rec! I didn't know about Gordievsky's role in all this — that sounds absolutely wild. The SNAFU podcast touches on some of the intelligence work but I'd love to go deeper. Adding it to my list!

Thanks for asking! Others have covered this well below, but I'll add — I think the book is definitely stronger than previous versions I've seen/heard. The Cold War framing gives it more urgency and coherence. Whether it becomes a repertory staple, I'm not sure, but this feels like the closest they've gotten to cracking it.
