I wonder how true to Wedekind the staging will be..

Do you know which translation/adaption is being used for the production?

broadwayguy2 - it's the Doug Langworthy adaptation - is that any good?

So, DFW, are you asking for some pranks you can play to screw up the production?

I'm not sure if it is THAT version (I am not looking at it and am not at home), but at the O'Neil, they seel a published adaption of the Wedekind play (a great idea fot the musical to do if you ask me) that I really enjoy due to the inclusion of 10 essays about the show and it's history.

superb, heartbreaking, one of the best shows i've seen in a long while.

it was like being back in high school, but being able to articulate exactly what i was feeling in a literately intelligent way.

if you're in dallas go see this show, it's a must!

although the whole cast is excellent and the story revolves mainly around melichor and moritz, i was inexplicably drawn to two minor characters (each who have only one scene a piece but make them into "star turns") - lucinda rogers as martha and ariel j. woodiwiss as ilsa stole the show for me.

the set was simple, the tree with it's shards of glass as leaves was genius.

but question: what is the significance of the character listed only as "masked person"?
