Don't get me started on the fact that Sorkin, in deciding to adapt this book for the stage, [decided he didn't want the protagonist to be Scout anymore, but instead Atticus Finch](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/how-aaron-sorkins-kill-a-mockingbird-translates-classic-story-2018-1167180?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). No disrespect to Atticus, obviously (I reject the alleged sequel to this book entirely), but deciding that he didn't want to tell a woman's story (especially a little girl's) when he could tell a speechifying man's instead is EXTREMELY SORKIN. Listen, the show may be very well done -- I liked *The West Wing* as much as any human, and I love some of Sorkin's movie writing -- but I read that tidbit in what is an otherwise thoughtful conversation, and I just had to shake my head a little bit. (I also don't know if I totally think this book needs to be made into a play when the movie is already so perfect but give it a shot, y'all!)

ALL OF THAT ASIDE: Wow, this show got a great turnout. One of my favorite things about Broadway premieres is that it always feels like at least *some* of these people just picked out their own outfits for this event -- the clothing might have been picked out for them at some point by a stylist (because sometimes stylists help celebs with just, like, helping them figure out what needs to live in their closet), but a few of them looked inside their closet and picked something for this one on their own, I think. It's fun.
