Can't tell what's more bizzare: that wig or that bunny outfit

Posted: 6/22/11 at 7:00pmthe awful top of the bunny outfit is only trumped by the really awful sets.

I wonder how they are dealing with "Whipped Into Shape".. since they have Nikki Snelson, I would assume they are doing the original choreography for that one!
And it's definitely the bunny outfit.. Really?!

Posted: 6/22/11 at 7:03pmI mean... the MUNY is outside, I don't know how detailed they usually get with their sets, but I would imagine they could be destroyed in an instant because of rain or any type of weather.

Posted: 6/22/11 at 7:06pm^ The program says that they're using Jerry Mitchel's direction and choreography.
#6Muny's Legally Blonde Production Shots
Posted: 6/22/11 at 7:11pmThose sets and costumes look awful.
#7Muny's Legally Blonde Production Shots
Posted: 6/22/11 at 7:16pmThis makes me even more excited to see what their production of The Little Mermaid will look like.

Posted: 6/22/11 at 7:17pmI think they actually look pretty good for the Muny. Their sets and costumes are usually way worse than that.
#9Muny's Legally Blonde Production Shots
Posted: 6/22/11 at 7:21pmthe sets look like they were colored in with crayon by an 8 year old.

Posted: 6/22/11 at 8:07pmWho cares about the sets and costumes- it's all about Colt Prattes-woof!!!!!! They could have no set at the MUNY and the show will still make a fortune provided it doesn't rain.

Last year's conversation, apparently
https://offoffbraodway.broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.php?thread=1020034
"WTF MUNY"
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Are you crazy!?! If it rained he'd get wet and they'd make even more money.

Colt Prattes is a stud.
The sets need to read in a theatre that seats 12,000... not 1,000..
The costumes are rented.. and ick.

Posted: 6/22/11 at 9:24pmWhat makes these costumes even worse is that Elle is supposed to be very fashionable.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!
#18Muny's Legally Blonde Production Shots
Posted: 6/22/11 at 9:27pmI'm sure it's been said, but wouldn't this just be a question of perspective? The shots are taking really close up, but that theater is ginormous.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.
#19Muny's Legally Blonde Production Shots
Posted: 6/22/11 at 9:27pmHello, Colt Prattes. Jordan wants you to come over to his house tonight. He has a surprise for you...

D.B. Bonds and Colt Prattes... that was nice. Imagine D.B. Bonds' face on Colt Prattes' bod?
Unfortunately, everything else was terrible especially Paulette's costume. God awful. The sets look like a 4th grader drew it.
Seriously, who designs those sets?

Posted: 6/22/11 at 9:34pmWell this is just....unfortunate is the only word that comes to mind.
#22Muny's Legally Blonde Production Shots
Posted: 6/22/11 at 9:50pmAs it has been explained over and over- the sets need to read in that ENORMOUS space. They're not meant to be seen in close-up.

But Kad, it doesn't look good photographed 2 ft a way in a high resolution photograph, so CLEARLY it means they suck and can't build / design sets properly. DUH.
:)
#24Muny's Legally Blonde Production Shots
Posted: 6/22/11 at 10:08pmFrankly, I didn't even notice there were sets behind Colt Prattes. As for costumes... you mean the annoying things covering up Colt Prattes?
