I know that Nadja and Zsa Zsa are also in the scene. Would love to know what they changed, staging wise, for the final version, because in the final version you see the bat at the window, then Crawford, then the dialogue, then he leads her onto a platform which then descends and her bedroom disappears and we see a huge bloodshot moon which fills the entire back of the stage. Then finally he seems to 'skate' offstage on the final notes. | |
