The Woman in White West End Revival — Page 3

It looks like the goal here is to bring the show back to the West End and Bway.

I agree with Jo -- I saw the original production (with Michael Ball as Fosco) both in London and New York, and really enjoyed it. Both the London and NY casts were excellent and I liked the projections (yes, I was thisclose to ducking when the train came out of the tunnel). The Broadway production was sadly plagued by illness, but I also believe lack of promotion played a role in the show's demise.

CATSNYrevival said: ""The final scene where Glyde is run over by the train felt like a fly-less Defying Gravity. Glyde just drops on the stage in spread-eagle and there's a lot of smoke."

Can anyone elaborate on this? Is the staging somehow similar to Defying Gravity or was the meaning here that the effect is as underwhelming as a fly-less Defying Gravity? He just drops while surrounded by smoke? Is there a sound effect at least?"

It looked like he slipped and fell with the train noise and lights behind him. The scene indicated that the action took place on the train tracks so it's not as confusing as it could've been I suppose.
