Food, glorious food...
Now that I'm working in theatre, I finally have to admit to myself that I just really don't care much for musicals. Ironic that three of my first five shows are musicals, one of which I find so patently bad that I don't think that any caliber of cast can save it. I'm going to keep which one that is to myself for now.
It isn't, however, Oliver. I'm still not a huge fan, mostly because I've seen it so many times since I was an orphan myself back in the 6th grade, and I've never been a huge Dickens fan to begin with. But the Douglas Morrison Theater did a bang up job with the show nonetheless, with a superb orchestra, a decent cast, and what can I say about that luscious set? Oh, that's right, I don't have to say anything, I have photos...
No matter how many times you call the exterminators, it's impossible to completely get rid of that orphan problem...
And if it ain't the orphans, it's the townspeople milling about aimlessly...
...and they are prone to fits of singing and dancing.
"Boy.... Boy for sale...."
Ooooh, spooky night scene...
That's probably enough Oliver to satisfy anyone. I think I am now relieved from ever sitting through it again. Cheerio...

I've never been a big fan of musicals, either. The set looks great, though.

Wow. I love the set... but I'm with you on the orphans. Need to find a better orphan trap, for sure.
Musicals are annoying to me. Probably why I disliked the musical version of Hairspray... well, that and John Travolta in drag. Ugh.
Have I mentioned how many levels of hot you are?
'Cause, wowza, your sets have been amazing! |
