I thought so! It was a very painted quality to it.

This photo almost looks like it was actually a painting. Very good.

Is the title of this a Stephen Sondheim reference, by any chance?

Indeedy it is. I've fallen in love with this particular rendition of it: [link] I think it is a stunning arrangement.

Oh, they played that version on Ovation the other day as part of a Sondheim revue - it also has a really excellent version of "Bang!"

Here it is [link] (Also loving the photograph itself, which goes without saying. The skin has this really cool human waxwork quality with the sepia tone.)

Thankyou! I came to look for you afterwards but you vanished. I'd love to hear any thoughts you have on it: what worked, what didn't, what you understood and what you didn't. It is surrealist theatre so no one is really expected to understand it all but hopefully everyone can still take something away from it.

Thankyou, lovely! I'm sorry I didn't reply to this earlier but I read it out to the cast. The first part is always the hardest for audiences to get in to. The cast got better at leading them in to it later in the run but it was always going to be a challenge.
Victor Spinetti put it together from his poetry. All the words are John's and John also had a lot of say in what went in. He was there at all the early rehearsals. There was stories of Victor turning to him and saying 'We need something for a Queen to say, John.' John replied 'okay' and promptly wrote in the back of an envelope 'My housebound and eyeball take great pressure in denouncing this loyal ship. Brittian sends forth a mighty queen in the tradition of Drake and Drakes drum in the blue corner at three pound two ounces I name this ship. God bless her and all who sail in her.'
Thankyou so much for coming to see it. It meant a lot to me to get so much support from you guys.
