So you know how you love me because you haven’t had a single meeting with anyone since I became your assistant? That’s because every time someone calls and requests a meeting with you, I always schedule it for March 31st.
I wish I lived anywhere near the Watermill Theatre in Newbury in the UK so I could see the Lord of the Rings musical this summer.
An article said it would be “semi-immersive” but didn’t specify how.
Some semi-probable theories that I wouldn’t object to:
You get all seven hobbit meals throughout the performance
Ringwraiths ask you for directions in the Shire
Free drinks during the scene at the Prancing Pony
During the Council of Elrond, if you yell that you’ll take the ring to Mordor, you’re cast as Frodo for the rest of the musical
They dump real snow on you at the pass of Caradhras
There’s (one) horse in the theatre
During the battle at Helm’s Deep, they shove a (fake) bow and arrow in your hand and tell you to loose it
The Eye of Sauron is a strong red floodlight from above that scans the audience
Aragorn is played by Viggo Mortensen
Eagles!
Feel free to add your own!
Okay the Caradhras one isn’t that far off though, since in the original theatrical run they definitely did blow hot air and spew “ash” at the audience when Gandalf fought the balrog.
