Alright so this kinda blew my mind when I realized this so listen up.
During Somewhere That’s Green, Audrey sings “between our frozen dinner and our bedtime 9:15” right? Well there are several photo shoots done of Audrey and Audrey 2 interacting with one another, usually with Audrey standing near Audrey 2’s mouth like he’s about to chomp down on her. It’s a pretty popular type of photo done in Little Shop’s production history as they did it with both Ellen Greene and Faith Prince in the 80’s.
In the background of those pictures, (no matter the actor or year it was taken), on set there is a clock that ranges from saying 9:05 to 9:10 (depending on the photo). Based on the context of those pictures, it has to be taken in universe of the show mere minutes before Audrey dies as it is the only time she is seen interacting with Audrey 2 when it is that size. Meaning, she would have had to of died right around when the clock struck 9:15. The same time she said her bedtime was going to be in Somewhere That’s Green.
I see a lot of people talking about Oliver and his Broadway shows but no one talks about the real-life boy himself in his Tony-award winning performance. So here it is, enjoy!
Honestly, I don’t remember much about this movie which means it didn’t make much of an impression. It’s the kind of movie that you can turn on and enjoy but not really remember. It’s a typical fake relationship trope, one which I not all enjoy. This was enjoyable, too, but not in a memorable way. I feel like I’m repeating myself, but I don’t have much to say about this one. It’s enjoyable but average.
Sex/nudity: 3/10 (kissing, implied sex, some sexual dialogue)
Language: 2/10 (no f bombs, infrequent cursing otherwise)
Another park, breakfast, ice sculptures, two breweries, another park, kitchen stuff, and a movie.
Is that enough? Who wants to sit still on a Sunday, not us apparently! I slept until 730a, which was lovely, except for the fact that I fell asleep about 4a, so… normal then!
Got up and motivated, tried on my new shirt from the Whirling Dervish, love how it fits! Let the dogs out, boots on, harnesses…on the dogs, of course, loaded into the truck and off to a new park. Union Canal Tunnel Park, so…
"Everybody’s free to judge the rest of it. If all goes right, we’ll have six or seven more seasons to work on you coming around to that, or the redemption of that. [In season one,] the audience wants to kill Lestat along with Louis and Claudia. But we had to sit on it for a year and a half. So it’s okay for people to think that we made a supervillain out of Lestat and then to come around to a fuller portrait. In season three, [Lestat is] front and center, and Jacob takes a supporting role. And it’s not all about point of view. We got 80 to 85-percent of Lestat pretty solid. Retribution is easy, right? It’s being contrite. [There’s] the idea that forgiveness should be part of this cycle, too. That’s something I think we’re trying to sell."
"So, what am I interested in? I’ll be less interested in point of view and memory as much. The challenge of the books is that there’s not a lot of forward story. I don’t think that you can probably mine the arcs of those for origin story after origin story after origin story. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take the same material and in very inventive, exciting ways move it forward."
And:
“The big difference moving forward is Lestat will be front and center telling the story, so it should feel like this show has been taken hostage by Lestat,” Jones says. “Aesthetically, it is going to feel different. It is not going to feel like two old guys in a room trying to figure out what brought them together. It is going to be over the shoulder of Lestat de Lioncourt, of whom you have probably seen about an 80%-accurate version of who he is — on fire and reckless. So it should be fun and dangerous.”
