I really hope they make a movie out of this but it really does work as a stage production. like there's an entire musical number with Irish dancing bc Paulette finally found her dream guy (which is just an Irish man and she lives in Cambridge, MA so not at all hard), but I would never want them to cut it ofc!
also Elle's feminine charm not working on the gay witness, so Emmett uses his masculine charm is SUCH a good detail that I never noticed. Every single acting choice Christian Borle makes is inspired
