The costume designer of the popular Broadway show Irena’s Vow, Astrid Brucker, starring the extraordinary Tovah Feldshuh, commented today under Wonders in the Dark’s review of the production, posted yesterday. The staff deeply appreciates her much-valued input:
” I agree with you, Tovah Feldshuh is truly amazing!
After having worked with her on the Off-Broadway play and now on the Broadway run I would never miss a play with her in it. She is magical and brings Irena to life with her earnestness and her great sense of humor. It’s been a wonderful experience designing the costumes on this very moving play.
I’m not sure what you find so “manipulative”!
Irena Gut also had a great sense of humor (according to her daughter that’s what got her through those times) and her faith in her religion gave her strength to save people. When I go to see the play I can hear people commenting on how wonderful the play is as they leave the theater. I hope it gets all the audience and acknowledgement it deserves.
Every one of us can make a difference and that is an incredible message in today’s world.”
Ms. Brucker’s comment is actually No. 17 on the comment thread of the post.
Well, yet another congratulations is in order for you guys.
A great honor.
So I guess that Allan and Sam get free tickets to the Tony’s, as well.
Pierre, I’m waiting by the phone!
Hi! Sam Juliano and WitD readers,
What a great honor!…Btw, I just visited her (costume designer Astrid Brucker’s) blog.
Very nice!….
Congratulation!
Deedee 😉
Wow, what a great honor. Congratulations to you Sam, and to all of the staff of WitD.
Thanks so very much Alison and Dee Dee!!
I don’t want to go further on what I saw to be minor reservations with IRENA’S VOW, as my experience was to a large extent very positive. I suspect the play–which has moved so many–will receive a Tony nomination for Best Play. I have spoken it up to fellow teachers and friends, and some have promised to buy tickets in the upcoming weeks.
And yet another awesome acknowledgement of this adventurous blogsite. Nothing can beat getting feedback from one of the show’s craftsman. You guys are standing tall these days.
Seems like every day brings a new honor to this site. You guys should be very proud.
John and Frederick:
Thanks for the compliments. It has been an exciting week here at WitD.
