Tony Award® nominees Marianne Elliott (director), Bunny Christie (scenic and costume designer), and Alex Sharp (Christopher) discuss creating Christopher’s world for "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" on Broadway.

The escalator scene was one of the most brilliant effects I have *ever* seen in a theatre. One of the reasons for this was the fact that it comes as a total surprise - one doesnt see it coming - all of a sudden it is there and before one can work out whre it came from it has gone. A really brilliant production and stage design!

The part that really blew my mind was when the *entire* wall started moving upstage.

As a parent of a 13 year old with severe asbergers I cried almost the entire show and best of all my son loved it...even with the sounds and lights...most amazing thing I have ever seen..

⁠@@moberg453 I also have ASD and I played Christopher during my freshman year! :)

This play is one of the best I have ever seen in 45 years of regular theater-going, and the staging, set and acting are all superlative. I recommend it without reservation. It is astonishing!

I literally saw this less than an hour ago in bath and it was absolutely mesmerising. I was enchanted (especially by the dog) and the set and cast were phenomenal, highly recommended!!!

[@bossman-ci2md]

[@mahahasan41]

I love this novel ,and the theater was amazing too.

[@versenh.1982]

I can't wait for someone to jokingly say "Outside of Christopher's World"

[@GillianBrown13]

Absolutely amazing!

[@gameshowfanatic9311]

So does the character of Christopher Boone have Asperger's? I'm curious because I have Asperger's

[@emmachapman6979]

Yep. Aspie here too also.

+gameshowfanatic93 he does! it was such an amazing play! if you ever get the chance to see it, please do!

[@gameshowfanatic9311]

Quick recommendation for anyone with aspergers wanting to see it...bring ear plugs. When they try to show him getting overwhelmed, it becomes very overwhelming for the audience.

why does this have the look of The Who's Tommy musical? Is it me?
