I know (as bethnor) stated that Cera was the main player in that he's on stage just about all the time but I am still a bit surprised. Maybe I just see what I want to see but most of the reviews were focussing their praise on Chris and Brian. Maybe that wasn't fair - I haven't seen the play.

That's who the reviews were mainly singling out and it's reflected in the precursor Drama League and Drama Desk nominations. Cera got lots of praise but just not as much as either of the other two. That Cera was on stage so much also makes him a Lead not Featured but the Tony committee chooses the category. Lane should probably also be in lead not featured. It was considered a lead role by Tony when the play came out first in the 1990s.

Speaking of snubs, I thought Murin was a shoe-in for a nomination but the Tonys pretty much overlooked Frozen except for Best New Musical even though the performances and tech aspects got a lot of praise in reviews.

for those who are curious about such things, here are the show's weekly grosses: www.broadwayworld.com/grosses.cfmit looks like they've been more or less at capacity since the reviews came out. not sure if it was right, but i think i saw a tweet that the show was sold out for the remainder of its run.

The only time it dipped below 90% and the grosses went down was the opening week where theaters have to give away hundreds of tickets to reviewers in order to be Tony eligible. Potential gross has mostly been kept down a bit because it's a non for profit theater with subscribers who pay less than ticket price and free and discount tickets for students as well as the 30 under 30 program. There are still a handful of tickets available per show - or were a few days ago at the TKTS booth and through the app TodayTix which has thousands vying for a few sets at 10am...
