Profile for 60'splayoff

Luggage tags at Maybe Happy Ending. Thrilled it wasn't another tote!

Not this season, but I loved the first preview gifts at Water for Elephants: bracelets made in partnership with wildlife conservation organization, Fahlo.

The new ensemble got new tour designs as well and I think they fumbled on the look BADLY, the show looks so much cheaper now."

Oh interesting! Thank you for the insight. I'll miss that turquoise corset but will give this new getup a chance. 

 

Haven’t caught the year 3 cast yet (very West End, no?) but big fan of the show, and so disappointed that they’ve cut Anne’s gorgeous wedding-end of show look both on tour and Broadway. It looks like she’s back in her “there’s an excessive amount of string on this thing” look for the end of the show?

The set is reminiscent to the Company revival and I guess the projections were impressive... but not used in a way we haven't seen before.

Oh, gee -- thanks for clearing that up! Had no idea something on AppleTV wasn't a live medium! (Though, ya know, it's about to be.)

Marla Mindelle and her co-creators do some absolutely top-notch work -- no shade on this production at all, I'm hoping to see it this fall. I didn't mean to press everyone's buttons -- but after a super clever title like "Titantique", kinda just felt Mindelle, et al, could do a bit better than what sounds, at best, like a great tagline; or at worst, a generic night of covers during Pride Month at 54 Below."

My comments weren't meant to be directed at any particular user. Just sharing that the title doesn't bother me and saying the 2 mediums are different in a cheeky way... until the stage production opens in DC. I just feel for the creative team because those comparisons are inevitable and the timing isn't ideal.

They've got her riding a bike with the lion cub in a basket a la Miss Gulch.

Well done, Jon Chu.

Huh.

What's with placing them on the railings?

it’s not as if the show matches the vibe of the Phoenix either."

I disagree. Felt like I was in an old movie house in Hawkins or an extension of the Creel House. 

RippedMan hit the nail on the head- The Marquis is a cruise ship theatre. Which I think some shows fit nicely in there (OUAOMT, Margaritaville, On Your Feet etc.)

Thought this show was a real thrill in London, however I don't love this house for it. I realize there's so many factors that go into moving forward with a space, I was just hoping for an older Hawkins-esque theatre for the transfer. The atmosphere at The Phoenix really contributed to the eeriness of the piece. Still super excited and happy for the Nederlanders to have a lengthy tenant at The Marquis.

For what it's worth, I just went to pick up tickets for later this year and around 10:50am, they were still selling standing room for tonight. Idk for anyone that's been staying away after hearing about 5/6am rush lines, it's still possible to see this on the cheaper side... and get some rest ;-)

Idk why but I have a hunch that 8-month Anne is Caroline Bowman. It doesn't explain why she had to leave Frozen a week before the tour closes, but just a gut feeling.

Betsy just confirmed her last show will be Oct 20th:

Sara Bareilles as Maria. 

I know, I know... she'd be an older governess but she has my vote.
