Friday Open Thread: Let’s Not Talk About the Weather

The 2023 Tony-winner for Best Musical revolves around a teenage girl named who suffers from a condition that rapidly accelerates aging. Before she has had a chance to venture forth into the world as an adult, she finds herself turning into an old woman. Her story, unfolding like a dark fairy tale, is as whimsical as it is piercing. Yet the effect is powerfully life-affirming, with how it reminds audiences of the preciousness of the time we have at hand. Full of quirky humor and social satire on grown-up immaturity, the musical will leave you both grinning and deeply touched.
