Wife and I chipped in $5 to see this. Aside from a few streaming issues, it was amazing. Kudos to all of the actors and organizers for doing this and having a Q & A session afterwards. The actors really got back into their roles quite nicely. Some of course have since passed on but the replacements did an admirable job, esp. Josh Gad as Fezzik, standing in for Andre. Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard stepped in for the grandson, which was originally done by Fred Savage. I assume they wanted somebody young to do that role? Anyway, in short, an awesome experience and great way to help raise some money to win Wisconsin in November!

Now, if only people in Wisconsin were actually allowed to vote. LisaL Sep 2020 #1
