Very excited for this. Hopefully they'll put the marquee up soon so the tourists can stop asking where they can get tickets to Wonderland.

I know you. I know you. I know you.

Has anything been released about the production design?

It's the same designers as at the Kennedy Center. So, I doubt there will be many changes.

WONDERLAND's marquee is being taken down today. It was half that and Follies about an hour ago. All the piCs are down too for Wonderland.

Bummer. The LOVELAND set truly blew, and not in a warm, friendly kind of way.

I already have tickets to see this on August 7, 13, and 24...and I'm sure I will see it many more times after that! Loved it in DC and so glad I will get the chance to see it again in NYC.

Not sure who that obnoxious bp queen fan is :p.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

SO EXCITING! I've never seen Bernadette Peters live and I am really looking forward to this.

The marquee looks AMAZING. And I was not a fan of the actual logo.




I am curious as to why Jan Maxwell has the only purple box? Interesting.

That photo's really manipulated, I think they're all different colors, Jan's just the only cool color for some reason, so it stands out.

I know nothing of FOLLIES.

Will someone who loves this show please tell me why I should see it?
I am very curious. What's the best way to learn about this show?

the Papermill cast recording is usually a good introduction to the show.

Jan's box still looks like the only different color there, too.

Why are you obsessed with Ms. Maxwell's box?

Can she put Tonys in her box or just her bag?

Purple box=Tony Award?

I'm more interested in Ms. Peters box,
which is red like that dress.
Wasn't her box green the last time?

That box was probably in her contract. It's a way of giving Bernadette top billing but still somehow avoiding Jan as second billing. Graphic design tricks like these happen all the time and font color (or background font color, in this case) is a common one.

^ That's what I was going to say. They're not listed in alphabetical order, so clearly Bernadette is being given top billing. The purple box helps set Jan off a little bit.

It seems to be setting a few other people off.
