Julius Willis in The Last Unicorn
tuesday, november 12, 2002
Julius Willis is listed in the credits as a hunter/bandit. Somehow along the way, he must have changed his role to The Invisible Man. I don't remember this character in the cartoon version, but thank god I had seen the cartoon, otherwise I wouldn't have had any idea what was going on. Ok, the play starts out in this forest, with a girl in purple tights who is supposed to be a white unicorn. She has a little crystal horn on her head to show that she is in fact this unicorn and not a dancer wearing PURPLE tights. I personally thought white tights would better represent a white unicorn, but alas , I am not in the theater. Sillouhettes of people are in the background singing something. I was sure one of them must be Julius. Not until the end of the play did I realize he was the Invisible Man, so for all I know he could have been standing center stage at this point. People start dancing and singing and
shrieking, there is this butterfly girl who yells a lot, there is also something about harpies and a Red Bull that is portrayed by six guys in red tights, and there is a lot of walking in circles to represent walking hundreds of miles. And the spastic guy named Shmendrick. He has to be seen to be believed.

Then it's intermission and I realize I have yet to see Julius in the
play. Can I somehow have gone to the wrong theater? Could this play possibly
be in production at two simultaneous locations? I saw his picture in the lobby. His name is in the program. Then it hit me. He's The Invisible Man.
Probably the best interpretation of the Invisible Man that I have ever
not seen!!

So Bravo Julius, you take not being seen to a new elevation! I had
roses to give you but I couldn't see you as you were still in character at
the end of the show.
