From what I can remember Rodchester was dressed in a black veil like outfit covering his face, with a ragged dress on the bottom. He sat in a chair and read some of the "high society" ladies palms and finally read Jane's then revealed himslef by tossing off the veil. It was quite good as when I saw it the CD was not yet out, and James was excellent, so I did not see it coming!
yeah, i liked that scene. but that was the only song that i liked in the show.

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree. ~Dirty Rotten Scoundrels~
There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel. ~Curtains~

The "gimmick" of the set was that it had a rotating stage AND a rotating fly system. Some of the best moments were when you were looking at a room in the house, and the stage would rotate, and then the windows and walls and lighting would rotate with it - creating some beautiful effects like seeing sunlight come into a room from different angles.
There are pictures from the show, but none that illustrate the set - it was entirely too dark for pictures - it just wouldn't show up.
I thought the set was a very fascinating and mostly effective concept, although at times is proved extremely inefficient, due to seemingly constant technical issues.
I loved this show - loved the set, and the score, and thought Marla Schaffel should have won the Tony. Oh, well.

munkustrap178 I couldn't agree with you more. I also thought the score deserved more consideration. I was ticked when the producers won! IMHO I believe that BOTH Jane Eyre and Full Monty were better scores! I also have some "extensive" pics from the show. I can't post them but PM me if you are interested.
well, the gypsy song is the only one that stuck out in my mind. can't really remember anything else.
and what does the name spell out if the letters are rearranged?

>>Re-arrange the letters in Marje Bubrosa and you get a certain someone's name.
That's like the credit they had for Grappin, the "Belgian spy" in the original Scarlet Pimpernel cast. He was played by Ken Labey. Rearrange those letters and you get "Blakeney". Which is, of course, the last name of the Pimpernel himself.
Anyway, I wish I'd gotten to see this show. The score is awesome, as Marla Schaffel. Updated On: 3/23/06 at 09:57 AM
Yeah, it was just unfortunate timing because this show went up against the Producers - which I still think was so stupid. Full Monty and Jane Eyre both had way better scores. The Producers score just gets old and bland and boring after one listen, but I can listen to Full Monty and Jane Eyre still and love it!
