ALL IN A DAY'S WORK


I'm at Le Petit Theatre for the next few days helping with the set for "All Shook Up". I painted these "classic sculpture" flats. They roll out of a travelling art museum, which is really a tiny trailer. At some point in the musical, three back-up singers pop out from behind the sculptures to accompany Elvis as a... Greek chorus?!
This Elvis musical is loosely based on...Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"! Who dreams up this stuff?! I tried to comfort the TD (technical director) in his misery by telling him, just think of "The Producers" and try to keep laughing. He answered, "I don't want to- we're doing that one in May!"
