Back from Aida — Page 2

I saw the production in Austin and was not pleased. They cut "Not Me" and the "Elaborate Lives" at the end before they enter the tomb. My friends in the show said that the director thought that they were taking to long to die, so he just cut the song. I think the Long Island show had the same director and from a friend I have in that production, they made the same cuts.
The somewhat cool thing about the Austin production was the sandbox/stage thing. the theatre is a thrust, so the thrust was made into a sandbox and lots of action/dancing took place in the sand. I was skeptical at first, but I sat in the front row and didn't end up with any sand in my face, so I was ok with the choice.

yup they did cut that. It made me sad when they weren't singing, just being thrown into the "tomb." But i liked the sandbox stage thing too, such a cool way they did the set.
