Jackie Hoffman's wig looks like she bought it for three bucks at a Halloween store, but everything else looks great. Hopefully they'll get her a better wig for Broadway.

This looks so cool. I'm so excited for this to open in the spring. The set looks awesome.

I love these shots. I saw the show on Sunday, and I personally thought it was good, but still had some work to be done. The first act was definitely stronger than the second.

So, the double staircase, for anyone who has seen the show, how does it work/ unfold into the different places around the house? Also, how many effects are black light like the plant and the statues?

This show won't be playing in August.

The set is awesome! It's the best part of the show.

They won't need a new wig for Jackie Hoffman.

Don't get your hopes up for this show. It's really really troubled.

^ Just because you didn't care for the show doesn't mean it will flop and close by August. Updated On: 12/9/09 at 01:37 PM

That's very true. I hope it's very successful and that all those talented cast & crew are employed for a very long time.

I just think that the expectations for this show are so high that they can't be lived up to.

I know that just because I don't think the show is very good don't mean that other people will think the same. I'm just stating my opinion.

I will say, however, that when I saw Jackie Hoffman's one woman show "Whining in the Windy City," she essentially said the same things.

The plant looks like the offspring of Audrey 2.

While I do wish the best for this show, I have to agree that, if there aren't major changes made, this show won't last long.

The double stair cases don't fold/unfold. They are manipulated to create different parts of the house. Each stair case is made of multiple parts that can be rearranged for different looks. The set is just amazing! Hopefully the rest of the show can catch up.

(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."
