Massive spoilers will be in the comments. I'll be gradually adding to this over the next while, as I get spare moments to write. Hopefully, other folks who've been will also comment!
No problem! Wish I had more unique experiences- mostly I just saw what everyone else saw and didn't get any one-on-one's, so not too much to report that people with multiple views haven't seen. This scene seems somewhat ignored since everyone is still watching a topless sexy witch make-out session when he runs away. :)
I was so happy to find your blog-- I have a hard time with the self-policing anti-spoiler thing the fanbase seems to be rocking. As much as I'd love to see it enough to see *every* storyline, that's never gonna happen so finding a way to fill in some of the blanks is awesome. My friends and I had *no* idea who the Mrs. DeWinter character was when we spotted her so your report was super enlightening.
You seem to have seen it a few times- do you have any recommendations? I only comprehensively followed Banquo and Male Witch last time, with a little Lady MacBeth and Lady MacDuff that I stumbled across. Anyone you consider to have a particularly unmissable line?
It's extended until February 11th as of yesterday. It's selling out every single night and getting incredible press so hopefully they'll keep it going. Seems like they'd have to be crazy not to. Best of luck seeing it again!
"My friends and I had *no* idea who the Mrs. DeWinter character was when we spotted her so your report was super enlightening."
I've heard that that character/storyline changed for the NY run, but I don't know the details.
"do you have any recommendations?"
I've written above about all the specific cool moments I saw. And you seem to have already picked up on my main meta-recommendation, which is to pick one person and follow them.
"hopefully they'll keep it going. Seems like they'd have to be crazy not to."
If finances and ticket sales were the only concern, this show could run for years. But I'm frankly amazed that the actors have been able to last as long as they have already, with that much intensity, that many times a week. I presume they have some understudies, and can train up replacements for burned-out actors, but it's got to be tricky to fins folks who are that talented *and* in that good shape :-)
I wrote out my one on one with Duncan's son, Malcolm, at the NY show that I attended just this week.
I'm with you. If there's a place on-line with spoilers that will help fill up any of the impossible gaps, (was the woman in the hall Duncan's wife? Why is she never at the grand table?), I'm all for it, as I will never in a thousand life-times have enough money to go often enough to see everything. (I live in Vancouver, Canada. It's a VERY expensive show for me).
Thanks for those writeups, they were gorgeous. I'm putting a link to them here, so I can find them easily later: http://porphyre.livejournal.com/tag/sleep%20no%20more
