With very little time for rehearsals, a talented cast brings a vibrant New York musical to the stage. Spinner Jones ouse lights went down, the audience hushed and flood lights blossomed on the curtains. The curtain opened and the dancers cavorted across Liberty Island. Then extras started their day, feeding birds, finding a place to eat. A sinister character skulked on stage and the first confrontation between Brutus Uay Buckleyj and Popeye Uon Jensenj occurred. Popeye was the birth place of many devices used for the Popeye first time on the LHS stage in the technical aspect of the play. Flash pots were used when the Hag fMarcia Jonesj used her magic to poof Popeye out onto stage and then minutes later brought Brutus onto the stage. A fog machine was used to add effect to Wimpie Uoe Brodinej when he burned the hamburgers in his shop, Wimpie's Hamburger Heaven. It also provided the smoke for the burning down of the Hagis shack in which Olive CSusan Apgoodj was trapped. At intermission the cast threw the audience a curve. Instead of lives shutting the curtains the performers on the stage stopped right in the middle of a scene and froze for ten minutes. At the start of act two, they began where they left off. Mamie fTammy Hicksj noted, I liked the intermission, but it was really hard to stand for ten minutes frozen. Director Cary Cox said, This is a comedy take-off on the cartoon and a fun play for the performers because of the different characters they get to create.
