i don't know how to post the video from their Facebook. My friend was in an office across from the Goodman Theatre last night. The marquee exploded and caught Fire.


"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."

hope this doesn't give the producers of Rebecca an idea for an interactive marquee eventually.

Three things:

 

1. Glad that nobody was injured.

2. The guy talking in the video is hilarious.

3. I love Chicago. Just getting to see a small clip of it brought back memories from a little over three months ago (lol). What a city.
