Dan Levy and Noah Reid at the opening night of The Minutes on Broadway (April 17, 2022)
(All I want is a nice, complete video of this moment. And in the absence of that, I'll apparently stitch together the pieces with whatever is available.)

Happy Sunday. An overarching question you may not want to answer and thats fine, but I feel your experience and knowledge makes you the one to ask. Now that Noah's first Broadway run is over in a few days, how do you think he was/is perceived by the fans, the critics, the money men, the Broadway community as a whole? And do you think he will be asked back?
Oh boy, I do not speak on behalf of fans or critics or producers or Broadway as a whole, but all in all, I think Noah had a very successful debut. I would not be surprised to see him return. Lord knows I'll be doing my fair share to get him cast again.

The Minutes' Noah Reid Is Setting New Goals
After a hit television series and now a Broadway debut, the performer talks about the work that motivates him. (Playbill, May 13, 2022)
A quick scan of Noah Reid’s resume reveals that he’s pretty much already done it all. He made his professional stage debut in Toronto as Chip in Beauty and the Beast. He spent seven years as the voice of the title turtle in the animated television series Franklin. He has a long list of film and tv credits, and recently wooed millions of fans while courting Dan Levy’s character David in the final three seasons of the sitcom Schitt’s Creek. The multi-faceted performer is also a singer-songwriter with three album releases under his belt.
Reid is now appearing in the ensemble cast of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s production of Tracy Letts’ The Minutes, playing a newly elected city council member in the fictional mid-America town of Big Cherry. “It’s just a bit of a dream,” he says, “making my Broadway debut in this play, with these people, with this company.”
The actor confesses that even with all of his successes, there were some downs when he was building the ups of his career. “It’s taken me a while to get to the level that I’ve always wanted to play at,” he says. “I think I thought about it as things I wanted to achieve in my life and setting goals, and when that stuff started to not happen or not exactly happen in the way that I had drawn it up, that felt really disappointing.”
His thinking has shifted, though, to be more about the kind of work that he gets to do, and who he gets to do it with.
“It’s not going to surprise anyone for me to say…this is a complex time. The world we’re living in is so cacophonous. It’s so busy. It’s so hard to keep anything in our heads for very long and we’re easily distracted, so I like projects that allow for us to sit in some kind of reflection of this world that we’re inhabiting," Reid says. “I love the challenges of, ultimately, the examination of what it is to be a human being in this world. I mean that’s kind of what artists have been reflecting on for centuries and generations and we just keep getting more complex as a species. There’s lots to mine.”
“I just want to continue to do work that challenges me and that I get to surround myself with thoughtful, intelligent, compassionate, and brilliant artists. You know, I think that can be the goal.”

Tracy Letts, who wrote and stars in “The Minutes,” said his play about serious small-town dysfunction has improved after the cast was retooled — Armie Hammer, accused of rape, left during the virus gap, replaced by Noah Reid. The play was in previews when everything shut down.
“The truth is the production we opened a couple weeks ago is stronger than what we were going to open two years ago,” Letts said. “I have done some minor changes, shaping, fine-tuning. And yes, Noah makes a difference.”
But he notices something else: more giggles from audiences.
“I don’t know if it’s anything we’re doing,” Letts said. “I wonder if audiences are more ready to laugh.”
