WE MADE MAGIC

And now the magic goes away!

And after. Waiting for the actors in the scene shop

Helmets

Some of the women's breastplates, we made these out of  paper mache. See the purple one on the right? That's why you never toss out broken jewelry.

Oh, darn,The King is dead

I took the photos of the armour and Eli Siegel took the production photos. She also designed the lighting. Today and tomorrow with be taken up with lots and lots of laundry, such a glamorous life! I've got some more photos of backstage hijinks, for another day. Interesting side note, Pippin is in previews in NYC for the Broadway revival, which is opening soon. We were so lucky that the rights to do the show weren't pulled. That would have meant we won't have been able to do the show and would have had to scramble to find a replacement one. Because of the way musicals are ok'd, if a major tour is in production or the show is on Broadway, regional or university theatres can't produce that show. It cuts into the $$$ for the big shows, which can charge more for tickets. It's a crazy system, but that's the breaks. Anyway, not many people who came and saw our production will be going to NYC to see that production.  Hope this wasn't a really boring post.
