Gyllenhaal and Ashford to headline SUNDAY at The Hudson — Page 7

The third floor is the balcony, bud. 

Just some speculating about the rest of the cast, it seems doubtful Cusack will return. She has several 54 Below dates in the middle of the run. Although things can always change...

Oops, sorry for confusing everyone.  You are right, I haven't sat in a balcony section for so long that I must have misstated it as mezzanine, lol!

Wait 33 for service fee? I got the balcony $79 seats n service fee was $11.00 thru the Hudson website

The press release indicated that the show would not make a profit. The producers just wanted a high profile vehicle to open the theatre with.

It is too bad they did not wait until next year so Jake could get have a better chance of nabbing the Tony.

Some friends of mine at a particular theatre have a pool going on the identification of After Eight.

I do think while the production will be more 'fully realized' - its still going to be rather simple in the design department. Thats probably their key to recouping quickly.  That and I bet Gyllenhaal is probably working for close to scale. 

 

But those expecting elaborate scenery and costume recreations from the OBC will likely be disappointed.

"I do think while the production will be more 'fully realized' - its still going to be rather simple in the design department. Thats probably their key to recouping quickly. "

 

The name of the game is to make a profit. That's the key. If they can do that, then they can boast about it for eons to come.

And you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll never stop hearing about it!

The last revival had stunning use of projection designs in what was otherwise a very, very simple set.

If you haven't seen this video, detailing those projection designs, you should watch it.

The last revival wasn't cold in the UK.  But I can imagine it might have felt that way in Studio 54. The smaller orchestration was of course less an issue in London when the theatre was a third the size.

Also, did anyone really love Daniel Evans? 

"I saw the last revival and enjoyed it, but looking back, it felt a little cold."

That's because it is. Cold and lifeless. It could be performed in the Mojave Desert and would still be as cold as ice. It would make the ambient temperature drop 80 degrees.

Valentina,

 

I like the truth, that's all. And I don't like the way it has been railroaded for nearly fifty years now to suit elitist agendas.
