I’ve had a handful of people ask me if I was planning on drawing Hal Prince. Well, duh! But I rarely draw just to check something on the list. I like drawing someone while they’re on my mind anyway – I’m more interested in finding the things that make them, them. It becomes almost like a quest.
This time last year, December 16th to be exact, we gathered at the Majestic Theatre to celebrate the extraordinary life and career of Hal Prince. It was one of the most remarkable afternoons of my life. I IMPLORE you to read about it here if you haven’t done so.
Needless to say, hal has been on my mind. Maybe it was the recent snow – I remember snow being expected that day.
We are so, so lucky to have as much footage of Hal and his productions as we do. That has never been and never will be lost on me.
