Is this incarnation going to be set in 1994?

This is some of the most horrific styling I've ever seen.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

WHAT are they wearing?! It looks like the Disney Channel decided to put on a production of Rent. I hope those aren't supposed to be the real costumes.

Ew. Why is he wearing Puka shells? Is this 1994? I had such high hopes, but it looks like it's going to be more Disney-Channel earnestness. Ew. And these people look all wrong and trashy as can be.

Where is the fat one? Is Plain Jane Fat Ass cut too?

Also is Missi Pyle supposed to be Sister Chantelle because she kiiiind of needs to be black.

Missi Pyle is playing "Sister Joan," so I'm assuming they changed Chantelle's race.

Considering the characters attend a private Catholic boarding school where they wear uniforms, the choice to put them in such odd clothes for this is even more absurd. Obviously this is just a photo shoot, but still- it makes a terrible impression.

In terms of the changes people seem so confused about, as has been discussed at length on this board, this production is heavily revised from previous versions of the show. That accounts for why there are different character names and different versions of characters you may be previously familiar with.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Jason Hite is an excellent choice as Jason. He has a great voice.

Well in the context of the photo shoot, they're obviously not at school. Unless they do attend school on a graffiti covered rooftop. Hypothetically they could be at a rave, and in that case the clothing is almost a little dull. Although I will admit I see a clearer concept with what all the girls are wearing and know plenty of girls who would wear those outfits. The guys, not so much.

Nadia is being played by Barrett Wilbert Weed (side note: please get a stage name). Will she be gaining a lot of weight for the role? Maybe she skipped the photo shoot for a Sizzler.

Clyde, as I just said, Nadia is one of the roles that has been reconceived. She is no longer fat.

Sheesh, it's just a photo shoot, why read so much into it? And it certainly hasn't made any bad impression on me.

Broadway.com has an interview up, and the cast seems really into it which is exciting although Missi Pyle said something that rubbed me the wrong way. When asked about the plot, she said "It's about two boys, one is out of the closet, one isn't."

Did they really changed it that much? Peter is completely out to everyone now? I hope I'm just reading too much into what she said.

Why are they doing Bare if they're changing everything and cutting the best songs? Why not just commission an original show that meets their misguided vision?

I'm just glad Gerard Canonico's calves are getting some attention. They're darling.
