Anatole's entrance is my favorite part of the show. The lighting just speaks so well to who Anatole is in the way that Lucas Steele portrays him. The entire show is lighted so spectacularly.

[@stephpiano2908]

It's honestly the most iconic entrance of any character in any show

[@epicremarc]

Steph Piano nah Jared’s first line in DEH

[@Aphrodite-my4cw]

These show clips are making me so happy, I weep tears of gratitude.

[@stephpiano2908]

Tears of thanks

[@neilagangitlog]

And glancing at Pierre (now that's something i wanna do irl)

[@johnlaurens4064]

Anatole's entrance is the best, even just listening to the soundtrack, I get chills every time!

[@stevenweiss4699]

[@tylerlindsley5469]

would've been more like a tech month

[@marciabaker3493]

Saw this today. Right off the bat I was amazed by the lighting design. The blue lighting cue was actually breath taking. I just loved loved loved this lighting design. Really hope you win that Tony!

[@amandaflicop3122]

I cannot wait to see this show and I cannot wait to take a light design class this semester and I'm just so excited for the next few months

[@adoredpromises]

:(

[@judymaggs4354]

Can't wait to see this a 2nd time! There was so much I noticed & yet I know there are about a million other things (like the blue light in the moon) that I didn't even see!

[@annariordan2801]

Are there any performances done with modified lighting so people with epilepsy and photosensitive disorders can enjoy the show?Lighting is such a powerfully amazing tool in theater, but strobe and other quick flash lighting limits who can be a part of this experience.

[@spencerjones8315]

Anna R i don't think so, the lighting is such an important part of the show.

[@montydog1009]

I had to shut my eyes on and off during the club scene. 😕 My epilepsy's controlled with meds, but still.

[@ImNotOdd]

from what ive heard they gave out many warnings and made sure those with photosensitive disorders knew it was gonna happen well before it did happen n they were encouraged to do whatever they had to in order to remove themselves from danger

[@beckyr.6522]

When I saw great comet I almost knocked over one of the table lamps lol

[@deanapplegate5750]

wait, did he say 1,900 lighting cues? 0.0

[@march-py4zd]

I WANTED TO SEE THIS.

THANK YOU

Can someone who's good with symbolism and stuff help me understand why when Andrey finally arrives, he arrives the same way Anatole does? Through those double doors with those lights blinding all of us?

[@hiddendruid]

i don't know if you still want an answer, but i think the symbolism is supposed to be how blinding Natasha's love interests are. Andrei is moonlight, which is often luminous, but not as blinding as Anatole, who is sunlight. He is bright, eye-catching, you can't look away, even though you should.

[@stephpiano2908]

Ohhhhh I love this interpretation so much
