Talking through the Terror Camp slides I have finished and it is becoming very clear that I vastly overestimated how quickly I could get through them. I wanted to talk more about my process and sources but I don't think I have time for any of that so source: just trust me bro lol

Well it's a good thing I already had a trip to England on the agenda for 2026 because I am OBSESSED with this Paddington design! Literally the cutest little guy I've ever seen in my life
First look at Paddington in the ‘PADDINGTON: THE MUSICAL’ stage play.
The puppet is played by 2 performers: James Hameed, the off-stage remote puppeteer, and Arti Shah, the on-stage performer.

I was going through my NYC playbill collection again and decided that, out of the 40+ Broadway/Off-Broadway shows I've gone to, Joshua Henry as Coalhouse Walker in Ragtime is the best performance I've seen as of yet.
