Is ENRON the 1st Bway Play with Velociraptors?

I just found these picutres in an album on the official site. Didn't know if people knew much about them. I think any Broadway Play with Velociraptors automatically deserves a Tony Award. Don't you think?

Wow, looking at the other photos on their site as well, it really looks more like a big musical, not a play.

Highly theatrical play with music and dance.

Hey I recognize those mice... they look like the ones used in one of Enron's commercials!

Ha -- he looks like that Will Vinton character, Rex. I hope he speaks with a Brahmin accent!

I cannot wait to see this! Am going to either the first or second preview...depending on how the rest of my vacation schedule pans out.

YES! AWESOME! HAHA! I've been looking for velociraptor images! For some reason, no one quite believes me when I say there are VELOCIRAPTORS in this play. That's TOTALLY going to be my Hallowe'en costume this year! I'm going back to my velociraptor avatar!

Well there was a dinosaur in The Skin of Our Teeth, but I don't think it was a Velociraptor.... or that it looked that good.

The more I hear and see about this show, the more interesting it seems.

This show is just plain huge. I just went and bought my tix. Other people in line at the BO said they saw it in London, and told me I "had to see it" they said it was amazing.

Of the current West End triumvirate, this is the least successful and needs the mephodrone staging to cover up the discussions about the intricacies of financial accounting software, special purpose vehicles and consolidating group structure, none of which were detailed enough to satisfy accountants.

I did like the line dancing and over-sized stetsons, and have recently taken to dressing and performing like this in the office myself.

You wear a dinosaur head to work?

I hope it's not all smoke & mirrors. But I like the smoke & mirrors I'm seeing so far. "Looks" like a fascinating show with some interesting creative ideas.

Does this show have any music playing at all?

Did you consider reading the thread?

"Highly theatrical play with music and dance" would suggest there is. :P

(Yeah, I could've just said "yes", but I'm not asleep and consequently am cranky. Oops...)

Scripps, which triumvirate do you refer to? I'm trying to work out what the third part could be of anything...

Triumvirate of ZOMG SECOND COMING straight plays = Enron, Jerusalem and...
Triumvirate of financial crisis shows = Enron, Power Of Yes (which I can't believe you'd think is better than Enron???) and...
Triumvirate of forthcoming Broadway transfers = Enron, War Horse and... La Cage? Maybe?

I dunno.

My guess is:

Triumvirate of shows people are talking about and won't shut up about, possibly with good reason: Enron, Jerusalem, Love Never Dies. But that's just a guess.

EDIT: ooh, you mentioned War Horse! Then maybe it's a triumvirate of Best Plays in London right now: Enron, Jerusalem, War Horse. Enron is DEFINITELY the weakest of those three!

I was thinking of the triumvirate of decent new plays that everyone has been talking about, that are likely to transfer and that are up for the Olivier tomorrow: Jerusalem, Enron and Red.

I can't comment on the fourth 'cos I ain't seen it and I ain't heard anyone talking about it. But with at least three decent plays nominated I'm more than happy, particularly after weak line-ups in recent years.

Aw, The Mountaintop was great. But it and Red stand NO chance being up against the combined might of Jerusalem and Enron. XD Red is awesome, but I rather suspect it's not much of a contender against the other two (although if it doesn't win Supporting Actor, I'm going to spit).
