Today I had what I THOUGHT was a great idea. We need a dramatic explosion in Seussical when JoJo gets killed in the Butter Battle (and you thought this was a kids show!). We have a pyro system that we have used to great effect in previous shows and I thought, 'Perfect! We can use one of the pyro pods to approximate an explosion.' Just oen problem. My lighting designer, Turk, HATES pyro- he thinks its over used. Rather than tell him this idea to his face, I decided to take the cowards way out and write it on a post-it note to give him. That way I could be far away when he read it and escaope his wrath. That plan failed becasue the moent he opened the post it and saw the word 'pyro' he promptly ATE the post it while saying, 'NO!'.
So much for my great idea. I guess we'll have to think of something else for the explosion.
