I didn’t finish this in time for closing, but I still wanted to share it. Comet is very important to me, so I had to do /something/ for it. Thanks for sticking around as long as you did.
So in No One Else, we see all of these individual lightbulbs. What does that do for that moment?
The core of the show has always been the simple lightbulb. And it’s a lightbulb that can turn from a lightbulb to a star to a comet. So it goes on a journey with the show.
And how many hanging lightbulbs [are there]?
998.
It was clear and cold. Above the dirty streets, above the black roofs, stretched the dark, starry sky. This vast firmament, open to my eyes, wet with tears…
“Mankind seems so pitiful, so poor, compared to that softened, grateful, last glance she gave me through her tears.”

It seems to me that this comet feels me, feels my softened and uplifted soul.
And my newly melted heart now blossoming into a new life.

Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812
March 31st, 2017
“To Pierre, [the comet] is a benevolent wink from the heavens. Juxtaposed with Natasha’s aria to the moon, these two moments encapsulate an important through-line of the masterpiece that Dave Malloy and director Rachel Chavkin sculpted: that both the grandest and simplest of phenomena can inspire individual discovery. A moon is not just a moon, it is a beacon to the heart. A comet is not just a comet, it is a celestial wake-up call. Fire in the sky, for all its terror, still begets light.” - x
