Just saw this production of Oklahoma! in So Cal and loved the show!

The 9 to 5 show curtian in L.A. was just a solid orange curtian with nothing on it. I don't know if that changed when it got to NY.


You can see the curtian behind Dolly as she apologizes for the show being delayed

I hope 9 to 5 keeps the same curtain for the national tour

I wish the creativity of the show curtain had been incorporated into the set design.


I thought the use of projections for the Memphis show curtain were nice (It was just a bridge, and then at the end of the show it's two babies), and I liked "In The Next Room"'s show curtain. It suited the theater nicely.

I kind of liked the Billy Elliot curtain... just the plain black screen with the row of chairs barely visible. It nicely highlighted the simplicity of the shows design

When i seen sister act in june when the show began the purple curtain dropped instead of going up and was pulled off stage. The intermission curtain was the same and at the end of the show there was no curtain

"What was the curtain for Miss Saigon? Both the broadway and touring production"

It was similar to the show's main logo but without the helicopter/Kim's face. Red curtain with the half yellow sun (on tour, anyway).

Actually, I liked Tarzan's curtain. The whole pre-show atmosphere was well-done...then it started.

Tarzan was actually not green and difficult to describe. You can kind of see it at the beginning of this video.

This is a pic from the Dutch production, so you can't read the captain's log, but it's a cool design. The map is a scrim, and the pre-show has a boat behind it on a flowy fabric that rocks back and forth. After the first act, all that is used is the Africa scrim.
Very cool.
