I'd looked at this one on my phone but figured out that I needed to wait til today, when I got back home to my printer, before getting serious about it. I did take a peek at the first two nudges but was able to restrain myself from looking at the others.
Very nice! I am off the couch - unconfirmed but really no doubt.

There were 33 solvers, not counting the three test solvers but including some names from Crosshare that were new to me. .
The answer is REUNITED.
The second half of each of the eight starred entries is also the latter part of the name of a character in Shakespeare. The matching first part is the first word of each of eight of the clues. So the first word of the clue for 32A is Ho. That links up with 18A COLOR RATIO
The first letter of the entries for those eight clues taken in order in the grid spell REUNITED.
