I suppose no one will want to remember Dracula, but when I was watching those characters fly in and out, I thought it had a very swim like quality to it. I had imagined Mermaid would do something like that. Have a character fly from left to right or right to left once in a while. Perhaps the show wont be entirely on skates, or maybe itll just look a lot better than it sounds (maybe with some underwater projections/lighting?). You can add me to the list of people who thought the idea of Avenue Q was terrible before I saw it.

How about skateboards for the merfolk?
I once saw a documentary on Discovery Health about this woman who was missing the lower part of her body, and she'd push/pull her way around on a customized skateboard. It was quite impressive.

Posted: 1/24/07 at 4:42pmThis would be interesting, but i know it's not true. The show will prominently feature the ensemble members on unicycles, which is a metaphor for the settling of the Virgina colony of Jamestown.

Maybe they can get those awful projection screens from The Woman in White and have the water and seascape moving behind the actors as they roll around the stage.
Children will cry and people will be vomiting in their seats. Sounds good to me.

Posted: 1/24/07 at 6:01pmSeanMartin, are you possibly thinking of the James Caan film Rollerball? Because, man, I'd see that on stage in a heartbeat.

Posted: 1/24/07 at 6:08pmLord no, I'm thinking of Roller Derby, that amazing spectator "sport" that has busty women beating the crap out of each other as they effortlessly glide around an 8-shaped track. It was a virtual tradition in the 50s and 60s, and IMHO Broadway would do well to do a musical about these... uh... athletes. I mean, *anything* if we get more roller skates on Broadway!!!!
