The students erupted. Brady barreled on. And from then on they were mostly transfixed, losing it only a little during the more provocative lines. They snapped selfies during intermission or else raised a non-alcoholic glass to freedom at intermission. There were "Ooohs" of disgust (or support?) during the Maria Reynolds scene, some students finished the Notorious B.I.G. reference "And if you don't know, now you know" in "Cabinet Battle #2" and the bravest of students shed some tears by the end of it all.
