Trap door in Rent -
During Christmas Bells one of the ensemble members comes up out of the floor (to "sell things"). At least that's the way it was in '99 when I saw it in NY. They may have changed it. Anyone know?

"WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND - the use of the 'liftable' platform which covered almost the whole stage was brilliant, dividing the stage to 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' and making the ceiling of the stage when pulled all the way up."
A less spectacular carbon copy of Sunset Boulevard.

An Inspector Calls
Personals (also spectacular lighting)

"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 10/16/06 at 6:11pmTalk about ultra realistic... the Act 2 set for the revival of Glengarry Glen Ross. How did they do that scene change during intermission? It was the only time I have heard an audience gasp when the second act curtain went up.

I always loved the Hairspray set. I was also really intrigued by "Broolyn's" Set. I thought it was very real and loved it alot. I think another set that was very real and made you feel like you were there was the revival "Odd Couple" set. I thought the detail was very great.
