Act I
“Adventure, Spectacle, Mystery”-OPENING SEQUENCE - Actor introduces Icon to audience and becomes Icon in front of them . (Establishing’ story within the story’ conceit.)
“Atlantic”, “The Plot”, “The Heat” – DECISION TO RISE TO FAME- Each lady makes the decision to become famous and walk through the door of opportunity and open up her world.
“Lady Lindy” Scene and Song – INTRO OF PRESS as a constant and insidious force.
“Leave it All Behind” (Act I Finale) – CRASHING WORLD – Agatha is in a car crashing, Aimee is in water swimming, Amelia is in plane flying and all vanish. I see this being extremely theatrical, fog encroaching, world crashing, ladies disappearing into the fog. The important thing is that we have complete unraveling of our story.
Act II
“The Plot Thickens”- REAPPEARANCE INTO THIS NEW WORLD - Make the ladies look like they are reappearing into the completely new world – beyond the Vanishing Point. This is a moment of establishing the new world and letting the audience know the ladies have been trying to get back to Act I world but keep reappearing here in a cycle.
“Point A” – THEY LOOK LIKE THEY FLY!!!!!!!!!
PORTAL - MOMENTARY REENTRY - Ladies appear to find the portal in between the two worlds. We see some design elements encroach into the space – glaring lights, cameras. Ladies make decision that they are not ready and they come right back!
FINALE – REWRITING HISTORY - FREEING AMELIA - Agatha and Aimee put together disappearing apparatus around Amelia and her plane and at the end of song, they make Amelia vanish. The actors return to actors to complete the storytelling cycle.
