The Fabulous Fox

Ok, so it's opening night here in St. Louis, and i am sitting at my desk (my ORANGE desk)needing to post about this theatre. It turns out that the Fabulous Fox, is indeed fabulous. In fact, it's AMAZING! First of all, it's a 4200 seat theatre. It is immaculately detailed everywhere. I can't even explain it. It is just such a beautiful theatre. And it was built in 1927!

Next, and best of all, every show that has come through this theatre gets to paint a spot on the wall with the show logo, or something representative of the show. And then everyone in the company signs around it. So, for example, on one wall, is the "King and I" logo, along with YUL BRENNER's signature! And there are so many other ones... i havent even seen half of them! This theatre building is HUGE and every single wall has something on it. And THEN, in the company and stage management offices, they do a "mini-version" of the company one, and the company and stage managers sign. So there are people that i know, and have worked with at charlotte's office, particularly show's that i have worked on through charlotte's office, on the wall in our office here! There will be pictures to come... especially of whatever Drowsy adds to the wall!

It is just SO COOL To be working here! It's like, you really feel like it's a theatre that all these shows have come through. They arent just the show posters, but these pieces of art that the companies created themselves and signed. This entire building is just this piece of theatre history. And Brian and I both get to be a part of it! It really makes you feel like you are a part of something that's bigger than just a job to pay the bills.

This is the nerdiest thing i have ever written in my life, but i am just so in absolute awe of this building, and that i get to work here. (Although, i'm not actually doing much work, since i'm blogging and staring at the walls.)

Lots of love to everyone!
