"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

This isn't Hewitt...? Just a model, or is he a stage actor?
In any case, this production's looking good. It's coming to Raleigh, NC as well.

Posted: 5/26/05 at 6:44pmhow do they plan on dealing with all these animals. Also, why do shows just randomly start touring w/o any former broadway opening or anything? jw.

He deserves it!

Posted: 5/26/05 at 6:51pmAnyone know what cities it is coming too? I didn't see it on the playbill article or it's website. Maybe I am just blind.

not every show plays Broadway before touring. the show already had its world premiere in London. the animals were designed by the Jim Henson creature shop. they are being designed by Michael Curry for the tour...

Philly, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Hartford. That's all we know so far.
I've seen a costume sketch for one animal. Think LION KING style, yet much different. In fact, it's LION KING format, unique brand new style.

Posted: 5/26/05 at 10:17pmIt'll also be at Proctor's in Schenectady. I thought I read somewhere that the person who designed the puppets for the Lion King did Doolittle, too.

Posted: 5/26/05 at 11:58pmWhat is the deal with all the musicals being made from poorly received kiddie tuners from the late 60's (not exactly a golden age for film...)?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 5/27/05 at 1:02amDr. Dolittle premiered in London in September of 1998, Borstalboy, seven years ago. so I'm going to say it was a little before the recent trend but maybe it started the trend... I dunno...
