"Whistle Down The Wind"!!!!
That is why it never opened on Broadway, The set has sooo HUGE you almost feared for the actors and it was a LOT of bridges stuff, overlapping, like a 3 tiered set, I was almost afraid the actors would be crushed at one point! Oh Yes, When the US set finally just broke they called off the whole thing, But if you did see it when the set functioned (London!) it was absolute magic! Great story & music too!!

Well, it can't be Oliver, seeing as how we did that last year.

I actually found out today - YAGMCB (oh em gee I wanna be Snoopy). And I'm wondering...I know the director was in a production of that last year and she loves that, but I don't know how walls or bridges or anything of the sort could be used for the set. Especially bridges.

The walls of Snoopy's doghouse? :) Also, I seem to remember seeing some kind of brick wall in some of the scenes. Can't think of any bridges that play a part in the show....hmmmm

My God you guys. They are obviously doing a musical version of Pink Floyds "The Wall." I mean come on, how much simpler does it have to be.

Actually, there are 8 people in The Fantasticks.

You didn't think all those layers of sets going up and down weren't BIG? It was bigger than Norma Desmond's Mansion rising up to do the double decker split set effect in "Sunset Blvd" - That set was humongous, But I saw it in London so they may have scaled it down here. I heard it broke here as well.

I saw Whistle in London. The set was the best part of the show.

We're somehow expanding the cast to fifteen, which is still pretty small, considering the usual size is twenty-five or so. Oliver! last year had thirty people.
