#1TLM corkscrew setpieces
Posted: 7/21/09 at 10:45pmTonight, at TLM, one of the giant corkscrews (for lack of a better name) was missing actors during the whole show. During both Under the Sea and Kiss the Girl, the corkscrew coming from stage right with the arms that come from the top had two actresses, as usual. However, during both songs, the one from stage left with the arms that come from the bottom was empty. I remembered that they both used to be used, and I have found video to back it up from GMA. My questions are if this has been happening for a while and why? During Under the Sea, I originally just thought that they had missed their queue, but I was puzzled when they did not come out during Kiss the Girl either. Does anyone have any answers?

Posted: 7/21/09 at 10:53pmI've seen the show several times (all of them when Sherie Rene was still in the show), and there were always actors on both...probably some sort of technical glitch tonight...

Posted: 7/22/09 at 1:47amI saw it Saturday evening and noticed that as well. I'm not sure why there weren't actors there but I'd be interested to find out!

Posted: 7/22/09 at 1:55amProbably something happened to the unit to make it unsafe.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 7/22/09 at 9:49amSo wait, you mean to tell me that Disney is having a problem in some form or another with Little Mermaid? Oh no. What a shocker.
