The Black Rider 2004

Amazing show. Parts of it pretentious. Parts of it making fun of pretentiousness. Incredible, though not easy to swallow, music. Great performances (especially by Nigel Richards). But most of all, jaw-dropping production designs. It's beautiful. Also ugly at times when it wants to be. Quite an odd, but wonderful show.

Note: I found it hard to cozy up to until late in the second act. Then it hooked me good at the Crossroads.

By the way, the gorgeous photo above by Derek Powazek was not color corrected. That's how it came out of his camera, which tells you something about how well the production designers achieved their goals.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
