My goodness, we've made over 50 posts in one day - so far!
Personally, I dig the Bare messenger bags that the cast/crew seem to have. I'd like to get my hands on one of those! I want one of these, too. I wish they sold better souvenirs at the ATA; I need more than just a window card!
I
loved it when Peter mouthed "black", it was one of the funniest parts of the show. The show had all kinds of little details like this - nuances in either how certain words are said, or how a scene is blocked. That's why I found the direction so wonderful, smooth and precise. Kristen Haggi is an extremely talented young director.
I really want to see how "Epiphany" is staged, I've heard that the images are downright scary. It's great; Peter/Michael gets lifted in a crucifix position and carried around onstage. My only caveat is they use the crucifix imagery a little too much in this opening scene; once or twice will do, rather than 5 or 6 times. But you only notice that the second time around. The best thing about the "Epiphany" scene is how fast the dream sequence dissolves back to the "waking life" of the mass - while everyone continues rushing and dancing around back to their seats, Michael/Peter quickly puts his altar-boy gown back on. When the music suddenly stops, Michael/Peter "wakes" with a gasp.
And why would afa_composerboy bother entering a thread of a spring show he didn't like?
