Hey guys -

For those who are interested in aerial stunts or simply enjoy watching shows with stunts in them, Paul has reworked his website.

His latest blog posted tonight and is about the new Tarzan show he's working on. Feel free to comment or make suggestions about the new site, I know he'll appreciate the feedback! :)

Yikes. I would not boast about being involved with the "flying" sequence in Wicked.

Haha, I never really thought about it... were people upset with Elphaba's "flying" in Wicked? Could it have been a lot better, do you think?

I think it works ok... especially with the lighting and the swelling of the music and all that... but... she stands on a platform... it's odd they hired a flying specialist.

Though, I must tell you... my adorable stepmother... was really mad she didn't put the broom between her legs like the witch does in the movie. "I don't understand how she can fly if she doesn't put it between her legs. I mean... that seems to be a necessary component." I laughed for days.

Do any of the Monkeys actually fly? I only remember them climbing on set pieces.

KJisGroovy,

I could never understand why a musical about witches who fly on brooms and in bubbles included so many witch entrances involving running onto stage.

The monkeys kind of bounce up and down on wires. I think one of them goes back and forth across the stage.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong

You learn to play the straight man, the lines become routine - never really saying what you mean - but i know the scene will change :)
