just watched the BWW piece on "Legally Blonde" and while i still am not impressed by this show, one thing came out and smacked me in the face.
the staircase piece in "ohmygod you guys" is the EXACT same piece used in lawrence's house for "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (during "Great Big Stuff") - the same designer, David Rockwell, did both shows.
that's kinda cheap dontcha think?
oh, and christian borle is NO luke wilson.

Posted: 5/6/07 at 10:45pmI hope you meant that as Christian being a waaaaay better actor than Luke Wilson. Also, the staircase thing has been discussed to death when it was first seen in the Broadway.com video for the first day of rehearsal, again when the show opened in San Francisco and again just recently when the "Creating Elle's World" video debuted on Broadway.com.

It looks similar, but it's the same unit.
Look at all of Rockwell's sets. He has a VERY distinctive style that you could easily pick out.

Posted: 5/7/07 at 2:05pmAmen. David Rockwell is one of my favorite scenic designers. I LOVE the two story exterior and interior of the Delta Nu House in the opening scene of Blonde.

Posted: 5/7/07 at 2:58pmI was impressed with all the Legally Blonde sets too. Everything looked great, and I have to admit that even the set changes themselves were so slick, they were fun to watch. Probably one of the best things about this show was how fast and smooth everything was... they never wasted any time on anything (including switching scenes).

Posted: 5/7/07 at 3:00pmHow can you compare Luke Wilson and Christian Borle when you have only seen a five minute video?
