Excuse me hi, WHAT is your header pic—is that what the show looked like in La Jolla????
oh hey! yes! la jolla lempicka had different costume and wig designers, and though the set designer was the same, the space was more open, no secondary level, a turn table, the band under the stage with open sections for the md to be seen, and a travel at the front of the stage. here's the original pic:
this is way more info than you probably want but there was a whole scene with tamara and her daughter after 'blasted california sun' and this slightly different final scene with rafaela happened in the middle of the finale: TAMARA spinning so fast / the world rushes by / a giant machine / can you make the world / Stop What happened to you? Where did you go? RAFAELA I died in Birkenau with so many others. I got out. I lived to be 100. Sold the bracelet stone by stone for passage to safety. You’ll never know. TAMARA I’m sorry… I wasn’t brave enough, I wasn’t strong enough, I couldn’t… RAFAELA Look at them all, the way they move, sleek, powerful like motorcars, your women - they’re taking over the world.
