What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorJoe Keery makes his Broadway debut, and The Hollywood Reporter sat down with him about balancing music and acting after Stranger Things.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhat a big night for the whole cast!
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Reporter also notes he shares the stage with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Allison Janney, Ed Harris and Lily Rabe.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt is his Broadway debut. The Reporter just buried it behind Allison Janney.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFour legends and Joe! Somewhere a poster designer is saying, we'll fit him in the corner, he's from the television.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChip, you haven't seen any of it.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd I loved all of it! Especially Julia, Allison, Ed, Lily, and the fellow in the middle!
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSequel check: a Broadway debut with four Hollywood names around him is a lovely idea, but a worse billing than the original.
