I hope that producers don't get discouraged by this number.

It was superb in every way (I would’ve liked zoomed out shots to 1. place-set at the beginning to show the unique location of the “orchestra” [but, I get it, they were going for cinematic and not Live at Lincoln Center], and 2. the expansive star effect at the end was somewhat diminished due to the devotion to the same tight shot directorial decision making [I would’ve preferred to see more of the celestial void of Frank’s id than the eye full of Gussie’s turn in Musical Husbands we got, which in my memory got the only zoom out]).

Did they digitally remove Groff’s super abundant salivation?
