I was just looking at some information about this production, and there are 4 people listed as Chromolume Performers, which confused me. How did that work? Was it interpretive dance or something?

I saw that production, and yes, there was a modern dance ballet of sorts during the Chromalume music. It didn't really work.

That sounds special. Did it have anything to do with the painting?

Wasn't Maria Friedman in this production?


"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

I saw this as well. A good cast but the production was very hard work for the audience.

I think this was the National's third musical and they were still nervous after the criticism they received for staging Jean Seberg, seven years earlier. They seemed determined to avoid the accusation of putting on commercial musicals, by making this as serious, heavy and unengaging as possible.
