| If you mean the legendary "Loveland" reveal then yes. The Valentine card effect was trucked up to Boston and worked pretty darn well. The stage left and right towers also made the trip and were installed but were almost completely obscured by the Colonial proscenium. The stage left and right skeletal units also made the trip, were installed but , again, were invisible due to the proscenium. They worked, however, and provided the intended cinematic effects desired by Prince. (they were partially masked at the Winter Garden as well which was the Aronson intent). On the other hand, the stage left and right proscenium columns complete with attached rubble and peeling paint and plaster did not make the trip but were not really needed. I have not read it lately, but I am pretty sure Chapin's book covers most of this. As for your post below, in your response to Chromolume, the book obviously does not contain some insights into several of the creative team strategy meetings since he was not part of the elite team, it does give a remarkable intimate view of much of the creative process. |
