I've been waiting to see this show since I heard the cast recording in 2008. As soon as I heard it was coming to the U.S., I bought my ticket and booked my flight. I can't wait!
Gosh I'm so excited for this!!! Been in love with this show for years but always on the wrong side of the Atlantic - so glad that it's finally here! :D
I saw this play yesterday 5/22/24 ...I loved every minute. The cast was very in sync. You could see they all loved what they were doing. What you did not see (but heard) was the orchestra...The score of this musical is unbelievable. I could hear and feel every musical note played by the musicians. I was so happy they brought the orchestra front and center at the end...Wonderful play, BRAVO!
Did you say horse hair? What is that? Did you sew the neckband to the edge that you've sewn? Or the cut edge? How did you sew the neckband on? It went fast and there were no close-ups. :/
Hi I’m thinking of using this tutorial but I want the edge of the collar to be a different colour so I was thinking of using bias tape would I stick it on the same time as the horsehair braid or would I attach it separately?
They did it wonderfully! So the context in which they transitioned into a lot of the songs was through the medium of people sharing stories around a campfire so it didn’t seem like such a nonsequitir when all of a sudden there was a clown doing ballet on stage lmao
I'm not going to be able to sit through this without balling my eyes out. I hope they film it for streaming because I don't want to lose it in the theatre.
