Theater News: Les Freres, Sunday in the Park, Gypsy of the Month


-NYTW will present A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant, starting Nov. 29th. So exciting! Moxie missed it the first time around, and can't wait to see it again. Les Freres Corbusier does some amazing stuff (Heddatron knocked our socks off), and just look at that picture. [playbill]

-The London revival of Sunday in the Park With George is hoping to transfer to Broadway in fall of 2007. Producer David Babani said, "Nothing is signed, sealed and delivered yet, but we are very much in advanced discussions to make that happen." Check out the design concept:

The Pulitzer Prize-winning show is based on the pointillist masterpiece “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” by post-impressionist painter Georges Seurat... In the show, the cutting-edge technology brought Seurat’s work to life, allowing the figures in the painting to move around David Farley’s white-walled set. Bird and Farely received the Critics’ Circle’s Best Design Award for their work.

-The Gypsy of the Month Award has been given to Bernard Dotson, long-time ensemble member of Chicago. Moxie has had the pleasure of meeting Dotson several times, and he couldn't be a sweeter, more wonderful fellow. Kudos to him! [broadwayworld]
