I think in the show, Franklin was already in the basket, improbably hiding under a blanket in that tiny area. And he popped up when the balloon was already in the air. I could be wrong though. It was a long time ago.
On a separate matter, from another note: I never had any trouble understanding Ulla Sallert in the show. And, typically, I was up in the balcony, and I don't think even the leads were individually miked. Could be wrong about that, too.
And 95 is a good age to reach. I won't make it that far and can't sing that well. |
