Profile for joevitus

Definitely not the film script. 

I love Brigadoon, and I was in a professional production as a kid, but encountering the script again in college after having only listed to the score all those years in between, I was taken aback by how not a great the book is. Not sure if revisions have improved it or not.

Doing it in the lobby would miss the point. It really is about doing it for the people outside the theater, the people who can't afford tickets to a Broadway show. The descamisados."

Yes yes but ya gotta do what ya gotta do."

You don't gotta do what's a wasted effort.

Thanks!

Are people wanting to prevent spoilers in the way they are describing Frank's entrance for "Sweet Transvestite" and "Whatever Happened to Fay Wray"? It sounds like something extraordinary was done in both cases, and am dying to know, but get it if no one wants to give it away at least before opening night.

Temu wig sale!"

Damn, Evans is packing! Have to agree about the Rocky costume (I know he's supposed to be a blonde Adonis, but Rivera looked better in his Vogue photos with his natural hair). Costumelooks weirdly like he's supposed to be a naked Ken doll.

I guess the extra cast members means there's a small backup group of Phantoms/Transylvanians, not just the nine players?"

Those wigs look like they got them at a bulk discount from Spirit of Halloween.



I doubt there's random "extra" cast members. Playbill has 4 Phantoms and 4 swings listed."

Pedantic much? I was clearly saying they must have included Phantoms, since there are more than the nine traditional cast members.

Sounds like the set is much closer to Brian Thomson's concept of a derelict cinema, with scaffolding on either side of the audience to hold the lab and Coke machine, than any production has done in a long time.

Ugh. Why an intermission? Why???? As with Follies, I consider this among the more ill-considered of the alterations to the book over time.

Damn I love the look of that. Thank you for sharing!

Roundabout was not involved in the 2000 revival. That was produced by Jordan Roth"

I'm so embarrassed. Confusing Roundabout with Circle in the Square. Thanks for the correction. 

To me that's a sign that they don't understand the material.

Hope you're right. I asked because, as this is a revival from the same company that brought the last Broadway revival, and considering the flood of recordings of this show already out there, it seemed less likely.
