Q: What do you get when you combine the Broadway musical of The Scarlet Pimpernel, a sleep-deprived iconist, and procrastination?
A: Icons that appear to have been composed under the influence of crack.

[24] The Scarlet Pimpernel (all four incarnations of the Broadway musical)

+

The Scarlet Pimpernel, versions 1-4:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24.

--All images from thepimpernel.com. (Did you know that a German-language SP show premiered in 2003?)
--Back on hiatus after I post these - five four and a half finals to study for.
--There are four different Marguerites, two different Percys, and three different Chauvelins scattered through this post.
1, 13. Marie Tussaud. If we do this show instead of the other choice (Camelot, bah), I'd like to play her.
2, 4. Please don't kill me ... sometimes polka dots are fun!
11. Picture from the wedding scene in version four; incomprehensible cursive text from "Believe."
12. Those women annoy me; thus, the text.
23. Chauvelin from version 3, I believe. He's the best-looking of all 'em, and the least French-looking.
24. Marguerite from version 3. In all the pictures I saw, she looked a bit bug-eyed.
And here, have my favourite song.

Oh wow, Scarlet Pimpernel icons! I like! They bring back memories of my obsessive Percy Blackney days... You have just inspired me to pull out my cd and listen.

Hurrah! I just reread the book last week, and began fangirling Percy immediately - much to the annoyance of my mother. (Also, amazon.com has a "4-for-3 book sale" right now, so I allowed myself to be suckered into buying The Elusive Pimpernel, even though I only wanted Eldorado. Bah.)

I'm glad you like them! :D I found the musical highly addictive, so I hope it doesn't drain away your sanity too.
