I still don't understand why Sunday in the Park With George got NO Tony awards.
i hated the set for Spring Awakening...it felt like a cheap imitation of 'Rent'. It was void of any mood or emotion. Thank God the lighting was so good.

I just felt like everyone in involved with Spring Awakening thought "wow, we're being so different and edgy," but they did things for no reason. like having them come from "underground" was a stupid choice. It broke the whole idea of the set. Everything else was very functional - chairs, mics, etc - the trap doors just seemed excessive.

How about the new shows like GUYS AND DOLLS ? If the show is not good I guess the set is wonderful!The same with WEST SIDE STORY and MINSKY'S in LA.Please more favorite set designs folks!
Just thought I'd give this thread a bump!

There were holes in the ground where hands poked out, and they used them very cleverly throughout the show:

My favorite set design this season is probably "Joe Turner's Come And Gone" - mixed with the lighting its beautiful.
I love the Hair set. I wish they could win something for their awesome set but there isn't much too it, but what is there is incredible.

I wish they had moved the stage back, instead of thrusting it out a little. The added thrust makes it so the people in the mezz. can't see the orchestra seating at all, therefore limiting our view of the audience interaction in the beginning.
Minskys looks AMAZING!!!
Any chance this might be open by the end of August? (Or Even previewing)?

The HAIR set is brilliant. I love how everyone couldn't conceive of how they would transfer their concept from the park. Brilliant.

The Hair set does look amazing. I saw it three times in the park last summer. I guess I might have to make a trip to Broadway...
Bumping this thread to see if anyone else has any more GORGEOUS pictures?!

33 Variations looks overwhelming but it's not that in the theater. McLane (who did the sets right?) loves that lacey looking backdrop. He used the same thing in Becky Shaw.
MyOhMy,
Thanks for the Secret Garden picture!! I've never been able to see a picture of any of the sets for it.
