It has been a remarkable summer for the Penguin and Bunny Theater Troupe. They have presented, under the direction of Bud, both
The Phantom of the Opera and
Les Miserables, with a very short run of
The Battle of the Penguins and Bunnies and selections from
Wicked. The performances take place in our living room, in front of the blue backdrop of Bud's comforter. For
Les Miz, Bud was especially creative with the sets, utilizing small wooden chairs in different positions for the barricade, bridge, sewers, and "Master of the House" tavern. The boat on the lake from
Phantom, in "Music of the Night" (my favorite scene), was used here as the death cart. (The mirror scene in
Phantom was also great.) Mama loved Smeak as the flag bearer in "One Day More," while I loved the little groundhog as Eponine. Tango, who appeared as the Phantom, is Valjean here. We look forward to the next production, though there do not seem to be plans in the works for
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
