    I have seen 15 unique broadway shows this year including some mass favorites like Hamilton and Wicked.
    The top two shows on Broadway right now, unequivocally, are
    Hadestown and Maybe Happy Ending

    • @movingforwardLDTH
      @movingforwardLDTH 5 днів тому +4

      That’s not a filter, it is the camera lens’ reaction to the pattern on Darrren’s suit - it is called the Moire Effect, I believe.
      I’m surprised his clothing person (I assume he has one) allowed him to wear that suit.
