Ok, I know that this seems a little pathetic, but I have fallen in love with this production...
It seems to be coming along very nicely!
Here's today's backstage video from MSNBC:

(Live performance tomorrow)
And here's a first look at the new production shots:

PS- How has the lottery been? I know it is in the morning and the seats are terrible, but I want to go back mainly to see the progress of the show. (I went for the second preview)
Thanks!
Oh, and the outhouse seems to break open now, rather than open effortlessly...

Kirby, I agree with you. I love this show. :)
I don't think the lottery has been too bad during the week so far. Maybe 30-40 people from what I've heard (and experienced on my own a couple of weeks ago). Not sure what it's been on the weekends.

That Donkey costume... looks AWFUL!
Everything else looks okay. Seems a little too clean, but that's Franchise Land for you.

I think the video is pretty cute, I'm not too crazy about the donkey costume either.
Are there still no pics of John Tartaglia as Pinocchio?

Bustopher, I agree about the donkey costume. It's off.
So, Brian gets three new latex pieces every show? I'm sure that's standard use, but it just seems like a lot.
Thanks for posting.

Posted: 12/8/08 at 8:54pmWhy of why do they make Sutton wear that made-of-old-curtains ill-fitting dress?

Posted: 12/8/08 at 9:06pmShrek was hilarious! King Farquad stole the show.

Posted: 12/8/08 at 10:41pmActaully (to steal a line/plot line from the show) it's LORD Farquad, in order to be a King he needs to marry a princess, which is basically what sparks the whole story into motion (that, and Farquads relocation of Fairy Tale Creatures).
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

Ok that video was too cute! I'd kinda forgotten how much I luuurve Brian to death <3 He's such a cutie! (makes me miss him being involved with Next to Normal sooo much though *sigh*)
and I must say that I actually really want to see the show :) At first I was like "wtf, Shrek on Broadway?", but now... it looks like a ton of fun, if nothing else!
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.
