That is my favorite scene as well. Even after the 10 millionth time watching it during tech and previews, I always perked up for this scene. HILLARIOUS! Love it! As for the 2nd kitchen scene. Ya, it was a bit vague. Even cast members were like "I dunno, but it's in the script, so we do it". There was talk of cutting one (not sure which, prob the 1st). The 2nd, if you noticed, it was real subtle, but it started with film going backwards, and the sound cue for the transition ended with playing in reverse, and the actors (should have) came on stage walking backwards. I think Terry's (the playwrite) intention was "correction, this is what really happened". The thought being if we showed what really happened the play would end too soon ;-) Also, it helped to show the arc of the Blonde charactors growth. In her 1st scene Hitch observes the bruise "it was my fault... I ran into the archetype thingy". And she was hesitant to do the nude scene for PYSCHO. I think the idea was supposed to show how she could so easily go from shy not wanting to show nudity, to so relaxed to walk around nakie. Golly, hope that helped. It''s kinda long and babbly. Sorry about that. Tough to explain 'art' sometimes. Hmm, wondering if I could come up to your job and get a change from theater? PHYSICS IS PHUN!!! ;-) Glad you enjoyed our little show.
